About me
I am a long-term volunteer with Lancashire Wildlife Trust and a research student at Manchester Metropolitan University. I have been involved with peatland restoration on Chat Moss for the past eight years, working mainly on landscape restoration and plant species reintroductions on Little Woolden Moss, a previous peat extraction site which is now a thriving nature reserve. My research project is based around the reintroduction of the large heath butterfly and is mainly concerned with defining the insect’s habitat resource requirements to optimise the chances of long-term success of the species reintroduction.
