Since the winter of 2006 I have been operating as a contractor splitting my time between sub-contracting and running my own contracts. Prior to this I worked for Devon Wildlife Trust carrying out estate management work across their reserves.
I have a Higher National Diploma in landscape conservation from Bournemouth University and a bachelor’s degree in countryside conservation from the University of Wales Aberystwyth. I also have the appropriate NPTC certificates for use of chainsaw, brush cutter, ATV and pesticide application as well as NVQ level 2 Environmental conservation.

I am fully insured including £ 5 million public liability. I have a portfolio and testimonials available on request. I have tried to give an outline of the services i offer, however one of the advantages of being a small operation is that i can offer an innovative and flexible approach to any client needs. If you are thinking of embarking on some environmental work i will be happy to meet and discuss ideas further be you a private land owner, environmental organisation or fellow contractor.
