Stuart moved to Scotland from Australia in 2022 and has fallen deeply in love with the landscape and the animals, plants, (and composite organisms!) that inhabit it. He is dedicated to connecting communities with nature and helping to restore Scotland’s biodiversity.
He is currently a Ranger and Duty Manager at RZSS Highland Wildlife Park where he engages with visitors giving talks about the animals at the park and the native animals that depend on the Cairngorms. With both zoological and theatre qualifications, Stuart is well positioned to make conservation entertaining and engaging!
As a Young Leader, Stuart hopes to increase his knowledge of Scotland’s unique ecosystems, its resident and migratory animals, and empower people and communities to connect with nature and protect this wonderful world of ours.
