Rebecca Charley
Strategic Lead – Nature Recovery & Biodiversity, SDC

I have grown up on a small Stroud valley farm, with our farm management focusing on working with nature to creating species rich grasslands, woodlands and water bodies.   We have a small herd of rare breed cattle, producing high quality beef for local customers.  I have worked in Nature Conservation for over 30yrs, with the majority of this time with National Trust as a Farm and Wildlife Advisor.  Now working for SDC developing nature recovery projects across the district with schools, parish councils and other local groups, aiming to broaden the awareness and understanding of the need to have nature around us and to share the joy of nature.
