How long have you been at Hill End?

Background
I worked for the Environment Agency for many years, then the University of Oxford in research administration. I am also a qualified science teacher and very much enjoy learning more about the natural world, so it’s fantastic to be here at Hill End helping so many adults and children enjoy outdoor education and fun!
Best memory at Hill End
Seeing all huge diversity of groups we can have here at once – WW1 days, Viking warriors, games of rounders, forest school and more – all in different parts of the site!
Favourite animal spotted on-site
The huge variety of bird life, including Red Kites and Buzzards.
