Specialism

Seed processing, seed collecting

I am the Project Officer for the UK ash tree seed collecting, this entails liaising with land owners and site managers to collect seeds legally and safely from target areas. I am responsible for overseeing the finances for the project and ensuring all targets where possible are met before the project end date. Prior to working as a Project Officer I worked for five years as part of a team of Seed Collections Assistants processing incoming seed collections from across the globe.
