Julia Hanmer

I started as BSBI's new Chief Executive in April 2021. I've spent 30 years working and volunteering in the conservation sector, including leading Bat Conservation Trust, founding BatLife Europe, working with volunteers at CPRE and training as a forest school leader. I live in London and am a trustee for a local environmental education charity, ecoACTIVE. In the past I've lived and worked around much of the UK and as a child I spent 5 years in Dublin.
