Patchwork Ecology Devon

At Patchwork Ecology Devon, I believe that humans can act as thoughtful ecosystem engineers — shaping landscapes that support biodiversity, resilience, and renewal. My work is grounded in the conviction that ecological restoration is not just about repair, but about reweaving relationships between people and place. Through careful observation, practical advice, and collaborative action, I help landowners, communities, and organisations create habitats where both nature and people can thrive, fostering patchworks of life across Devon’s landscapes.
