Alison Dyke

Alison Dyke completed her PhD on the political ecology of wild harvests in Scotland at Glasgow University before moving to York and a job at the Stockholm Environment Institute.

“I grew up in a woodland near Oxford and after my first degree decided that I wanted to work on woodlands too. I spent the first part of my career working on the sustainability of wild harvests in Scotland, bringing together groups of harvesters, scientists and landowners to work out how to sustainably harvest mosses, bulbs and mushrooms. I continue to be fascinated by the interaction between humans and the environment and still spend a lot of my time working on woodland and forestry issues.”
