Our People

Angus is our lead on the Cumbrian Rainforest Project and works as an associate with Cumbria Woodlands having previously spent time working in timber harvesting and restoring ancient woodland. He's been working in forestry and land management since graduating in Forestry (BSc) from Bangor. At Cumbria Woodlands, Angus focuses on new woodland establishment, woodland management and our woodlands advisory service. When not working in the woods, Angus can regularly be found (or not found) on a bike as he heads off into the wilderness to explore the lesser frequented parts of Scotland or beyond...

She is a PhD researcher looking at the habitat preferences and influence of climate on montane scrub trees.

As well as trees and woodlands, I'm also into plants and soil, and I absolutely love rocks.

I facilitate and practice connection between people and their environment, and enjoy sharing stories as well as ecological understanding.

I look after all the things to do with communications and media, and work across all of our projects. I'm usually hanging around with a camera, capturing the work we do and making sure it's clear what Cumbria Woodlands is up to and why we are doing it...

I've worked across the outdoor industry, worked in digital publishing, marketing, and training and development delivery. I get to combine all my experience with Cumbria Woodlands and use that to better understand how we can best support the woodlands and people of Cumbria.

Jamie trained as a furniture designer/maker, focussing on ecological design, sourcing and using local timber. He has worked as a community forest manager, overseeing harvesting, forest design planning and sawmill installation. For Cumbria Woodlands, he works with ancient woodland owners (including Plantation on Ancient Woodland Sites), looking at current practice and improvements to enhance ancient woodland resilience. He also supports owners with general woodland advice. Outside of Cumbria Woodlands, Jamie operates a sawmill producing sawn timber and beams and continues to make furniture. He is a skier, traveller and cyclist and has recently planted a small orchard and is looking forward to this coming into fruition.
