Anna has joined ART as our Outreach Officer and will be working on the Roots in the River Project. Before joining, she spent 18 months working on The Missing Lynx Project with Northumberland Wildlife Trust, as the community engagement officer. Prior to this, Anna completed an MSc in Biodiversity and Conservation, whilst also working for Leeds City Council doing engagement work with school groups and the public. “I thoroughly enjoy engaging communities with nature and conservation and take any opportunity to pass on my own enthusiasm and knowledge. In this role, I am looking forward to connecting people with the green and blue spaces within the River Aire Catchment, enabling them to reap the benefits that nature has to offer in these areas.”
