Drawing on previous experience in habitat management and ecological assessment, Tom is responsible for habitat creation and management on ANT’s sites. Working across the Avon catchment for a local conservation land management contractor, Tom has experience managing a variety of priority habitats for biodiversity, including species-rich limestone grassland, woodlands, hedgerows, and wetlands, among others.

Tom also has extensive experience in ecological surveying and assessment as a consultant ecologist, as well as experience in wildlife research, community outreach, and agro-ecology. As a bat conservationist and consultant, Tom has worked across the UK, Europe, Africa and the Middle East.

Tom joined ANT to help connect communities with landscapes, which he believes is crucial for the restoration of biodiversity, flood resilience, and soil health.

Aside from work, Tom can usually be found scrambling around in trees and on crags.
