Donations to last year’s Putney Fund have enabled us to engage Dr Helen Miller as our first ‘Ecologist in Residence’, the latest in the school’s residency series which has previously included a Writer, Poet, Musician and Entrepreneur.

Dr Miller has been working in the natural environment since before the new millennium, surveying Ancient Woodland across England and Wales. Helen has worked her way through ecological consultancy from field surveyor to Technical Ecological Director. Throughout her career she has developed and delivered an array of ecological training courses drawing on her extensive experience of diverse habitats and protected species to help people understand and live/work alongside wildlife.
