• The Secret Life of Trees: Why They Matter to Bat Ecologists

  

  My name is Ruth and I am currently working as a Graduate Ecologist. Before working as an ecologist, I studied Ecology and Environmental Sciences at the University of Edinburgh and the University of Aberdeen. I have always loved animals and working outdoors making ecology an ideal career choice. My work involves conducting surveys to understand the potential impact of development projects, particularly roads, on Scotland’s protected species. One of these development projects is the dualling of the A9 where we conduct surveys for beaver, otter, reptiles, pine marten and red squirrels.
