Managing London for Birds and Wildlife

The talk will provide an overview of the London Wildlife Trust’s work on birds over the years.

The talk will provide an overview of the London Wildlife Trust’s work on birds over the years. This will include Woodberry Wetlands which is a flagship reserve as it provided a bird rich habitat in a part of London which has a high density of housing as well as the recently opened Walthamstow Wetlands, the largest urban wetland reserve in Europe. The talk will also cover policy-based work on some of London’s other birds in the spotlight such as Black Redstart & Ring-necked parakeet as well as the Trust’s broader citizen science campaigns such as Kestrel Count and Owl Prowl.

Mathew is Director of Conservation, London Wildlife Trust and has nearly 30 years’ experience of land management policy and practice in urban nature conservation with voluntary organisations and public bodies, including the London Ecology Unit, English Nature and Peabody. He has managed nature reserves, and developed policies to advocate the protection, creation and promotion of natural green spaces, and co founded Neighbourhoods Green in 2003. He has a particular interest in the relationship between nature and society in towns and cities, which underpins London Wildlife Trust’s work in the face of a rapidly growing capital.
