This role involved practical conservation on chalk grassland meadows, coordinating and running volunteer sessions, as well as organising and delivering a programme of community engagement events.
Prior to this, Anna worked in primary education for over 10 years, including in leadership roles. Throughout her teaching career she was involved in the creation and delivery of engaging lessons across the curriculum and initiated the inclusion of Forest School and outdoor learning. Anna retrained in Countryside Management before starting at London Wildlife Trust.
