Ross has had a deep love for Scotland’s natural environment since a young age. He has a strong sense of community, from co-founding the Erskine Riverfront Development Trust that aims are to protect their local ancient woodland, improve local biodiversity and expand on the inner Clyde wildlife corridor, to serving as a councillor and the Treasurer for the local community council, championing various local causes. He is also an avid fell (hill) runner and hiker, and his goal is to complete his first ultra marathon by next year up in the highlands!
Ross has recently graduated from Stirling University with a degree in Economics and is passionate about exploring a career path in environmental management/consultancy. His hope is that by serving as Young Leader for Scottish Wildlife Trust, he can come to better understand the field and the environment more generally by meeting new and knowledgeable people, and using his own unique skills and knowledge to help champion Scottish Wildlife (and have a fun time along the way!).
