Richard is the RSPB’s Agricultural Advice Manager, working with farmers as a conservation advisor for over 30 years. He leads a team who manage RSPB Hope Farm, run a scheme to offer volunteer bird surveys to farmers, lead the Farm Wildlife Partnership and offer advisory support in the development of agri-environment schemes across the UK. An avid birdwatcher, Richard is as much at home showing people the wonders of the dawn chorus as he is discussing the intricacies of nature-friendly farming.
