Hello, everyone. I have joined WildHub in order to take some online training, initially in project management, and potentially connect with people working on projects.

I have spent my career (over 30 years) working in applied geography - yes, GIS and mapping - mainly for software companies. This has included a wide range of application areas, including ecology and the environment. I currently work in 'nature tech' as a product/project manager for a company that is building products that support the planning and designing of nature restoration projects and the subsequent measuring of their ecological condition.

I am based in the United Kingdom and am hoping to connect with people, particularly in the UK, who are developing large scale nature restoration projects in which ecosystem condition and integrity are the focus. My hope is that I will learn more about project management for ecosystem restoration projects. Having been a project manager and product manager for much career, and also being an active member of the rewilding movement (I am a founding trustee and active member of the committee of www.yorkshirerewildingnetwork.org.uk), perhaps some of my previous and current experience might be of use to others.

For anyone wanting to connect professionally, I can be found at https://www.linkedin.com/in/johnhartshorn
