Our Tutors

Tim was raised on a mixed hill farm in the Black mountains of SE Wales. He studied pure and applied Zoology in University. Tim’s early career included lecturing in agricultural colleges on a range of topics, including practical skills such as hedge laying and sheep shearing, and farm business skills. He has managed a research farm for Reading University and instigated the conversion of many small farms into a National Nature Reserve when curating the estate of the National Botanic Garden of Wales. Advisory work when working for the Soil Association included soil management, farm business and grassland habitat creation and maintenance. Tim started at Gloucestershire Wildlife Trust by overseeing the management of many grassland and woodland nature reserves but is now working in a role to advice farmers and landowners to direct their management at reversing the loss of biodiversity and to make gains in delivering public goods.
