Ruth Dalton

I have a rural background, studied zoology at Edinburgh University and undertook a Masters degree in Biology before becoming a Project Officer with Cumbria Wildlife Trust. An interest in farming and conservation then led to a two-year apprenticeship in conservation grazing and I am now Northern Field Officer at RBST.

I have a passion for our countryside, food and farming, if we don’t look to protect the countryside we will lose it for ever.
I live in Cumbria where I keep Wiltshire Horn sheep, Shetland cattle and Fell ponies on a 40-acre piece of hill ground close to Kendal.
