Speakers

Terry Smithson is the Head of Nature Based Solutions at BioScapes. He has a passion for protecting the planet’s natural habitat, with a deep understanding of species and ecosystems and of how this benefits humankind.

Over three decades in the Nature Conservation sector, Terry has brought about biodiversity restoration through species recovery, land management and policy development and through landscape scale habitat restoration. Terry aims to maximise the benefits to people from the natural world and has delivered this through community programmes, placed-based interventions and the development of Nature-based tourism programmes.

More recently, with BioScapes he has developed a suite of compact habitat units designed to simplify water management and biodiversity provision within our built environment.
