J. Riley Ecology

Sheffield-based ecologist specialising in botanical training and habitat surveys. Would you like to learn more about the natural world?

Have you ever taken the dog for a walk in the woods and wondered what the trees you're walking past are called, or wished you could identify the birds singing in the treetops? I offer guided nature walks for small groups, one day workshops and seasonal short courses on a variety of topics, including (but not limited to) trees and woodlands, birds, plants and fungi. I specialise in introducing adul

t beginners to the wonderful world of wildlife in an interesting and accessible way, but can also teach more structured, advanced level courses. If you are looking for a local walk leader for an ecology event, are thinking about running a series of adult education sessions about the natural world, or want to book individual/small group tuition on a particular topic, get in touch and I'll see what I can do to help! I am also available for carrying out habitat surveys including PEAs using UKHab or Phase 1, BNG work, botanical and bird surveys - see my website for more details.

Surveying in the long shadows today.

So far it's been a pond-themed week for me - yesterday looking at how to enhance a Victorian fishing pond, and today watching a new pond being dug. Looking forward to seeing the development of both.

Autumn colours and old oaks today.

Gorgeous, gnarled old oak trees on my survey site today. These look like old coppice, highly likely to be veteran and possibly even ancient.

Ran my last course of the year in the beautiful setting of Haddon Hall - the delegates were (mostly) still smiling after two days on a UKHab surveying course arranged via the Field Studies Council.

Now that's a big oak leaf. Size 6 boot for scale!

I encounter a lot of gates and fences in my line of work, but they don't usually threaten to compost me 😆

Another weekend delivering wildflower training, this time to the lovely volunteers at SRWT who are monitoring the nature reserves for certain species.

Had a delightful time guiding people around the lovely Scot's Garden this weekend. A brilliant space for both nature and people.

22/06/2024

I spent the day in Scot's Garden, just next to the old bridge in Bakewell. I'm leading two free guided walks tomorrow - more info on the Scots Garden, Bakewell page.
