Speaker - Matt Phelps - Species Recovery and Reintroductions in Sussex
Matt, is a birder, all-round naturalist and writer. He recently co-authored Where to Watch Birds in Surrey and Sussex, published by Helm.
Originally from Hampshire, his fascination with the natural world began with childhood explorations of local woodlands and heathlands. He has spent most of his working life nurturing landscapes for wildlife, alongside ecological surveying and leading guided walks and talks. He has worked as a safari guide at Knepp and sits on the Sussex Ornithological Society Records Committee.
In his role at the Trust, he splits his time between coordinating Beaver and Pine Marten work across Sussex.
His talk will cover some of the basics of species recovery and reintroductions in the county, as well as looking at some past, present and future examples of reintroduction projects, from Beavers to White-tailed Eagles to Field Crickets.
