What is your favourite GWCT wildlife project or initiative?
The Owl Box Initiative. I particularly like this initiative, as it engaged the local community in grass roots conservation in support of barn owls. It is also poignant for me, as my late father loved owls and would have enjoyed knowing that the organisation his daughter works for is actively involved in their conservation.
What is the best thing about your job?
I get to interact with pretty much all staff across the Trust.
What advice would you give to your younger self?
Keep going and keep smiling!
