Practice
My work takes a lot of different forms — research, facilitation, teaching, expert advisory. The thread through all of it is governance: who gets included in decisions about the environment, and who — or what — gets left out.
What I offer
Facilitation
I design and facilitate processes where something needs to shift — in how a group thinks, decides, or relates to its environment. I’ve worked on staff consultations, river rights assemblies, and gatherings that tried to give nature a voice in the room.
Consultancy
Strategy, institutional design, and project development — particularly where environmental and social dimensions are entangled and standard approaches aren’t quite right.
Research support
Environmental governance, rights of nature, and participatory process: academic rigour applied to real problems, for universities, public bodies, and NGOs.
Who I work with
Universities and research institutions, public bodies including Natural England, NGOs and grassroots environmental groups, legal organisations working on rights of nature, and anyone trying to do something genuinely new at the edge of environment and governance.
