  3. Ambassadors
Our Ambassadors are volunteers who have pledged to undertake outreach work in their locality, advising meadow owners and managers. They have been through a 2-3 year training programme with us, to help them understand our survey and research methods, so they can apply a scientific approach to assessing management of existing floodplain meadows, and help in the restoration of meadows. After their training has been completed, we continue to offer ongoing support and training to maintain their skills and share with them latest research. We now have 47 Ambassadors, spread across the country, each allocated to a county that contains floodplain meadows. You can use the map to find out whether there is an FMP Ambassador near you, who you can approach for advice.

Biography

I'm based in Leicestershire as a freelance ecologist and am working on a voluntary basis with a Town Council to enhance biodiversity along a tributary of the River Soar. There may be floodplain grassland creation and restoration opportunities. In Gloucestershire I set up a Community Interest Company (CIC) in 2021 and have managed a meadow creation project and am looking to develop further habitat, species and access/recreation projects.
