About me

I'm the research intern here at the Association, working on the forest gardens ten-year trial project since February 2013. I obtained my PDC in 2012 and have a background in environmental management and academic research as well as interests in food growing, being outside, volunteering and learning about and practising Permaculture - all of which I'm hoping to draw together during my internship.

As the main person working on this project, I'm collaborating with the participants in order to develop appropriate methodology to best capture the wide range of productive yields and wider ecological, social and economic benefits that we hope to show that forest gardens offer. I'm learning lots along the way!

PLEASE NOTE: Barney is currently taking a break from this Project. John Warmington is continuing with this Project for a few weeks (September 2013).
