Stuart’s expertise in, and passion for, restoring peatland and other habitats are of huge benefit to our natural capital team

Having managed the Monadhliath peatland restoration project – the largest in the UK - Stuart has a deep knowledge of these schemes from inception and funding through to stakeholder engagement and application. As this market evolves, there is great demand for experienced practitioners who can deliver.

With a keen eye for detail and robust practice, Stuart is up to date with regulations and guidelines in this emerging market. This attention to specifics ensures he gets it right for our clients and the long-term benefit of the land.
