Meet the Team
We are driven by people. We plant. We connect. We research. We educate and co-create. As colleagues, we treat each other with genuine warmth and respect. Everyone’s voice is welcome and valued. We are proud to work with a wide network of local groups, schools, scientists and businesses. Guiding us on our journey is our wonderful board of trustees.
