Megan Gimber is the Key Habitats Officer at People’s Trust for Endangered Species (previously Kew, Natural History Museum) where for 9 years she’s been focusing on ‘woodland edge’ type habitats and specialising in hedgerows. She created and runs the Healthy Hedgerows rapid assessment app, designed to help farmers make good hedge management decisions. In her ideal world, she’d love to see hedgerows reaching their potential as valuable farm assets as well as the ecological dynamite that we know they can be. And she’ll chat hedge to anyone interested about how we can do it. A Devon Gal and confirmed hedgerow geek, she’ll often be found talking about hedges, taking photos of hedges, or combining both on twitter.
