Julia is a Senior Lecturer in Wildlife Ecology and Land Management working within the Department of Agriculture and Environment. She has extensive business and project management experience and has secured significant funding for a number of projects regarding lowland peat including the Paludiculture Innovation Project (see: here) which was part of the £5 million Natural England Paludiculture Exploration Fund (Nature for Climate Peatland Grant Scheme), and the Patchy Peat Solutions Project (see: here) which was part of the £3.1 million Environment Agency Lowland Agricultural Peat Water Discovery Pilot (LAPWDP). 

Her early career as a behavioural ecologist at UCL and the University of Liverpool focused on the evolutionary biology of primates and primate conservation. At Harper Adams, her work has become more aligned with landscape recovery in support of biodiversity. She is invested in the concept of ‘from source to sea’ which stems from her background in Marine Biology gained whilst at the University Marine Biological Station Millport and the Field Studies Council at Dale Fort. She is the Academic Advisor to the Shropshire Mammal Group and works closely with CIEEM, North Shropshire Farmers and a number of other stakeholders, e.g. The Wildlife Trusts and the National Trust. 

Julia is Second Year Zoology Course Tutor and Module Leader for the following modules: C4010HF Vertebrate Biology and A5026HF Animal Behaviour and Behavioural Ecology. She also teaches on: C4016HF Field Skills and Field Course, C5027HF Wildlife Conservation Management, C5029HF Ecosystems and Conservation Biology, C6003c17 Applied Ecology for Management, and the MSc in Biological Recording. 

Julia is a member of a number of HAU Research Groups and is keen to work collaboratively to support cross cutting and innovative projects. Julia is happy to discuss ideas for HRP’s, MRP’s and PhDs.
