Introduction to Jo & Kim Botanical Skills Training Officers

Submitted by NPMSSupport on

Recently the NPMS partnership welcomed two new BSBI Botanical Skills Training Officers, who joined as part of the DAERA funded Botanical Skills Project to deliver botanical training in Northern Ireland.

We caught up with Kim Lake and Jo Mulholland for an introductory chat and to ask them a few questions about themselves and their new roles.

Thanks Kim and Jo, for taking the time to chat with us amidst inductions and the busy field season. A warm welcome to the NPMS. 

What were you both doing before starting your new roles?
