Georgi Ennis - My Life in the Trees
Britain remains one of the least-wooded countries in Europe and the tiny area of surviving ancient woodland is still under threat. Join Georgi Ennis, Kew-trained arboriculturalist turned Woodland Officer for the Forestry Commission, for a guide to protecting, expanding and promoting the sustainable management of woodlands.
Georgi has not only climbed trees, but has also climbed the ranks of the male-dominated industry of arboriculture. She spent five years climbing trees as a sub-contractor before coming to Kew to train in arboriculture. Now she manages thousands of hectares of woodland in South Hampshire and the Isle of Wight for the Forestry commission, but still finds time to do tree surgery on the side!
