‌Alison Dyke

Alison grew up in a woodland near Oxford and after her first degree decided that she wanted to work on woodlands too. She spent the first part of her 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. She completed her PhD on the political ecology of wild harvests in Scotland at Glasgow University before moving to York and a job at SEI. She continues to be fascinated by the interaction between humans and the environment and still spends a lot of her time working on woodland and forestry issues.
