Golf Course Ecology - LIVE

Contact James

Through BIGGA's Ecology and Sustainability expert, James Hutchinson, BIGGA can assist all members and their golf clubs with environmental, ecological, woodland and grassland management reports, walk and talk member afternoons or provide valuable advice and guidance on rare or protected species prior to golf course development.

Dr Marie Athorn joined the RSPB in January 2020 to undertake the role of Business Conservation Advisor to The R&A as part of the partnership between the RSPB and The R&A. Conservation and ecology have always been her passion and Marie has shaped her career in these fields. Marie has played golf her whole life and felt this role was a great opportunity to combine those two things and use her job to increase awareness and support for biodiversity conservation on golf courses.
