We’d like to welcome Logan Crimp to the GWCT Wales Team as our brand new Agriculture and Conservation Officer. Logan is a fluent Welsh speaker and will be a great asset to the team.
Here’s a bit about Logan (in English and Welsh):
“I’ve grown up on a shooting estate on Anglesey as the son of a Gamekeeper. This gave me a strong background in game management and wildlife habitat restoration/improvement. While living on the estate I have also worked on other environmental projects such as tree planting, invasive species management and hedge planting/laying.
I graduated from Bangor University with a degree in Environmental Conservation, this strengthened my theoretical knowledge of environmental practices while also giving me a better understanding of how to deal with human-conservation conflicts. I enjoy being out in all weathers either shooting, beating or working my gun dogs.
My true passion is being able to work within countryside and ensure that there is a more resilient and sustainable future. That’s why I am very excited to be joining GWCT Cymru as the Agriculture and Conservation Officer.”
“Rwyf wedi fy magu ar ystâd saethu ar Ynys Môn yn fab i giper. Rhoddodd hyn gefndir cryf i mi mewn rheoli gemau ac adfer cynefinoedd bywyd gwyllt. Tra'n byw ar yr ystâd, rwyf hefyd wedi gweithio ar brosiectau amgylcheddol fel plannu coed, rheoli rhywogaethau ymledol a phlannu/gosod gwrychoedd.
Mae gennyf radd mewn Cadwraeth Amgylcheddol o Brifysgol Bangor, a chryfhaodd hyn fy ngwybodaeth ddamcaniaethol o arferion amgylcheddol tra hefyd yn rhoi gwell dealltwriaeth i mi o sut i ddelio â gwrthdaro rhwng pobl a chadwraeth.
Rwy'n mwynhau bod allan ym mhob tywydd naill ai'n saethu, curo neu weithio fy nghŵn gwn. Fy angerdd go iawn yw gallu gweithio yng nghefn gwlad a sicrhau bod dyfodol mwy gwydn a chynaliadwy. Dyna pam rwy'n gyffrous iawn i ymuno â GWCT Cymru fel y Swyddog Amaethyddiaeth a Chadwraeth.
