Tom Staton

My background is in ecology and I’ve always been fascinated by the living world, and particularly the challenge of how we can find ways to coexist with nature in an ever expanding and developing society. Following a degree in Biology and a Masters in Biological Recording and Ecological Monitoring, I worked as an ecological consultant for several years, before starting my PhD at the University of Reading. I’m now in my second year of the PhD and am enjoying discovering how agroforestry could be a profitable solution to the restoration of biodiversity on farmland.
