There are various roles on the Committee for those able to give some spare time to support the network of local groups.

  • Local Groups Committee Rep

  • Communications Officer

  • Equipment Loan Scheme Coordinator

All Local Mammal Groups are invited to send a representative to the quarterly Local Mammal Group Committee meetings, to receive an update on Mammal Society activities and projects, hear about any guidance and opportunities for local groups, and feed into key decisions around Mammal Society priorities.

She has a keen interest in recording methods, which she has explored both through her professional roles and as a long-term volunteer for a number of organisations, including the monitoring of a Scottish Wildlife Trust reserve for over a decade, where she recorded the first records of Pine Marten and Water Shrew (her favourite mammals!) at the site.
