I enjoy being busy, and since 2012 I have worked with two private Ecological Consultancies on a freelance basis, carrying out roost visits and Emergence and Re-entry bat surveys. I have a bat licence to disturb and handle bats.
It was whilst studying for the MSc that I started work as a Countryside Ranger for DWR Cymru Welsh Water.
I carry out freelance invertebrate and bird surveying and have worked for Natural Resources Wales, The Elan Valley Trust, Elan Links, The Brecknock Wildlife Trust and private conservationists.
I am used to speaking to groups of people and have given a variety of presentations to interested groups about bees and wasps, and a rewarding part of my conservation work is to teach about aculeates.
I have led workshops for the public about bees, both bumblebees and solitary species. Usually, I will combine a morning presentation with an afternoon out in the field. In a freelance capacity, it has been my pleasure to have led Identification Workshops for the Elan Valley Trust, Radnorshire Wildlife Trust, and the Biodiversity Information Service; the Local Records Centre for Breconshire, Radnorshire and Montgomeryshire.
