I’ve lived and practised as a professional locally since 1996 and been a volunteer for Natural England for over 20 years. I am a volunteer wildlife rescuer for Tiggywinkles and have been an eco warrior in one way or another since I was a child growing up in South Africa. I am a passionate environmentalist and biodiversity advocate and want to preserve and find the right balance for all of us to thrive. Without finding that balance we really don’t have a future.
