Ecological and Climate sustainability is a conversation that in todays world should no longer be optional - every industry, home life or career path is now making room for the preservation of our environmental future. I'm a firm believer in spreading this message wherever I go - and I'm striving to find sustainability in both my professional and personal lives.
But sustainability looks a little different from where I'm standing. My life predominantly revolves around living around the lives of hawks. Not just in the sense that my routine, working hours, holidays and personal life are all affected - but that I have the privilege to be a part of the relationship a bird of prey has with their 'wild' environment. Side-stepping into the wild life of a hawk totally removes you from normal human reality and gives a whole new perspective to the way an ecosystem works.
This perspective guides the way we work to conserve wildlife and the way I share these ideas with our communities and the next generation.

Striving for sustainability and making room for wildlife through connecting with birds of prey. Inspire a change.
I began working with birds of prey at 15 years old, which led to my career today, where I manage a multi-award winning bird of prey conservation centre and registered charity in the South West. Birds of prey sit at the peak of many of our native food chains, and resultingly are vital regulators for the biodiversity and health of our British ecosystems.
Both boots-on-the-ground conservation and education are essential when it comes to our collective mission for sustainability. From active rehabilitation, wild raptor monitoring or chemical research to understanding biodiversity and inspiring a change through the trusting relationships I form with our hawks.
