By way of a professional #Introduction. I am the curator of the #NativePlant collection at the Bayard Cutting Arboretum, with a special focus on rebuilding ecological mosaics in degraded landscapes. Because of where I work, my job on the day to day is incredibly varied. I get the opportunity to do more traditional horticulture as well as caring for and monitoring a variety of different types of #wetlands and #forests. 1/n

@badbirch hey! As a relative newcomer to this place I’m following left right and center 😁 and you are quickly become a favourite . Would you mind if I sometimes use your photographs as inspiration for paintings? Or would you prefer if I asked specifically as anD when (or maybe the answer is never, in which case I’ll just look at them :-) )
