Frances Cattanach - Director

It was hearing a nightingale singing in a bush that inspired me about the natural world as a child, and led me to lots of volunteering and an MSc in Ecology in Bangor. I was Conservation Officer with the Wildlife Trust for many years, and although I rarely use my ecological skills now, I’m sure they’re valuable in my current post.

Chris Wynne - Conservation Officer (North-west Wales)

Being 6'1" has played no important role in helping me get a Biological degree in London, an MSc in Bangor or several years volunteering with the Wildlife Trust. It does help when looking around while standing in reedbeds which is often required in this job.
