Mary joined the team in March 2017 following her previous role as a ranger with the National Trust on the Norfolk Coast based in Blakeney.
Mary has a broad interest in natural history and has worked on projects ranging from the genetic analysis of ladybird endoparasites to studying the breeding habitat requirements of European Nightjars in Norfolk. She has previously published a paper on finding a population of a silverfish species new to the British list.
At Wild Frontier Mary assists with survey work (including protected species such as great crested newts and bats) and report writing, and is developing her botany skills and knowledge of legislation, as well as working towards gaining protected species licences.
