Experience

I have worked in the arboricultural industry since 1998 and had a variety of roles in the public sector:

My role at Caerphilly County Borough Council was that of Assistant Tree Officer and responsible for the countywide tree survey of all council owned trees.

I have taught as an arboricultural lecturer at Merrist Wood College, Guildford, and focused mainly on tree law, trees on development sites and tree pests, diseases and disorders.

With Cardiff County Council I was a Tree Preservation Officer and dealt exclusively with Tree Preservation Order applications and planning applications (trees on development sites).

My role at Newport City Council was that of Arboricultural Officer and I oversee all aspects of surveying and caring for the Council’s tree stock.
