Tim Haselden is Development Officer for the Mendip Hills AONB, responsible for an area covering 198 square kilometres – equivalent to 20,000 football pitches.
Set up 50 years ago to protect our surrounding landscapes. AONB stands for “Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty.”
“AONB The Voice of the protected landscape. Naturally beautiful , nationally protected.”
Originally from the Midlands, Tim obtained a degree in Ecology and Geology from Plymouth University. Following his conservation dreams, one of his first professional assignments was back near his home.
Nearly four years ago, Tim, along with his family, moved to the West Country. Here he took up his current role as Development Officer, based at Charterhouse, high on the Mendip hills.
Chatting with Tiggi, Tim explains exactly who is involved in his team, how the organisation is funded and his vision moving forward.
