Building on my previous experience as a Woodland Creation Officer with the Forestry Commission, where I guided landowners through funding avenues, advised on best practices, and ensured woodland proposals met the UK Forestry Standard, I now serve as a Woodland Officer, integrating these skills into broader woodland management responsibilities. In my current role, I work closely with internal teams, external stakeholders, and local communities to foster woodlands that deliver environmental, social, and economic value, aligning with national forestry objectives. My expertise also extends to deer management and consultancy, allowing me to address deer-related challenges that can influence woodland health and resilience. By applying practical strategies to control deer populations, protect young plantings, and maintain balanced habitats, I ensure that our woodlands remain productive, diverse, and sustainable over the long term. From shaping new woodland creation initiatives to strengthening existing woodlands and mitigating deer impacts, I combine my past focus on expansion and compliance with my current emphasis on strategic management. This approach ensures that each project I contribute to supports resilient woodlands, benefiting both people and the environment.

As a Woodland Officer in West Sussex, I am dedicated to enhancing and safeguarding the region’s trees, woodlands.

By applying the UK Forestry Standard and relevant legislation, I help ensure that woodland expansion, protection, and improvement initiatives deliver tangible benefits for biodiversity, landscape resilience, and local economies.
