Interests & Responsibilities

Prior to joining the BTO Jon worked in public-facing and engagement roles for the RSPB for 11 years, mainly based in his native north-west England.

Prior to this he worked in UK press for several years, and lived for while in Canada where he worked in marketing and communications.

A lifelong birder and dedicated local patcher, Jon has been involved in regional birdwatching groups, serving on the committee of his local bird club in Lancaster and spent many years as a BoEE and WeBS counter and local organiser.

He is a strong believer in making all aspects of natural history as accessible to as many people as possible, whether through physical engagement or by simplifying science to inform, excite and inspire.
