Scott Murdoch — Director & Founder
Team member since | 2004"The hills, glens and woods of Scotland have always been a home to me. To work there is an absolute honour knowing all our endeavours will preserve these beautiful landscapes. I studied environmental geography at university but only truly learnt about Scotland's environment when I worked my hands in her soil. I am blessed to do this work with a team I consider a family. Together we all truly love our jobs and are happy to take on constant new challenges."
Bernie Williamson
Team member since | 2012"I have worked on numerous projects over the years - including dealing with invasive species, particularly Rhododendron via spraying, cutting and burning. No matter whether old or new growth we have a system to deal with it. It is a great feeling to clear an area and watch it recover, now flooded with light, knowing native species and wildlife will flourish thanks to our work. I have also worked building paths with AFF and take immense pride in being part of a team turning an eroded gulley into a pitch perfect walkway looking natural and as if it has always been there."
