Tasha joined City of Trees in August 2022 as an Assistant Project Officer.

Tasha previously studied at Bangor University with her MScRes Project looking at the genetic diversity of Common Toads. She has a keen interest in our native reptiles and amphibians and volunteers with local Toad Patrols during the toad migration season.

Tasha enjoys spending time outdoors, especially in Autumn when she can forage for blackberries and plums for jam making.

Tasha’s favourite tree is the Horse Chestnut because of all her fond childhood memories playing conkers. The Horse Chestnut was the first tree she learned how to identify so she could find new conker foraging spots!
