Daniel's Bio
Daniel’s career in conservation and forestry began with an Honours degree in Environmental Biology from Napier University where his thesis focused on the freshwater fishes of Sulawesi. This was followed by a Masters in Conservation Biology with a focus on the use of riparian habitats by large mammals. Since then he has worked on a wide variety of research projects including a year supporting ecologists in the Ecuadorian Amazon and a year spent monitoring the behavior and activity patterns of Pine Martens in the Highlands of Scotland. Daniel has also worked on the front line of habitat restoration for many years, having planted close to one million native trees across the Highland area and removed acres of invasive species. Daniel has a strong interest in regenerative agriculture and in particular, agroforestry practices. He has established his own 2 acres food forest in the Highlands experimenting with over 200 species of edible and useful plants and trees suitable for this climate. He is also a keen wood carver and sculptor crafting unique pieces of art and bespoke yurts.
