I work for Tweed Forum in ecological restoration and land management. My specialisation is in woodland creation, where I have five years of experience planting, planning, and managing native woodland creation projects. Since joining Tweed Forum, I have also taken on a role as a Peatland ACTION Project Officer, restoring peatlands throughout the river Tweed catchment. I further contribute to my role as a drone flyer and GIS user.Previous to my role at Tweed Forum, I worked for TreeSurv as their Project Manager in a wide variety of roles, specialising in montane scrub and native tree planting. My BEng degree is in Mechanical Engineering from the University of Strathclyde. I hold qualifications in multiple arborist related NPTC and LANTRA courses, as well as LANTRA ATV certification (sit-astride, sit-in and skid-steer). I have also undergone GIS training, Drone Training and Certification (A1-A3 and A2) and Peatland ACTION in-house media training.
