Jeff Knott Thursday 30 November 7pm GMT
Topic: What is the Royal Society for the Protection of Birds?
Jeff is a lifelong birder, who now works as the RSPB’s Director of Policy & Advocacy. He started his birding journey as a bird observatory ringer before volunteering for the RSPB as a teenager. After going to university in Norwich and Sydney he joined the RSPB’s policy teams working on birds of prey.
Fifteen years later, he is still there, albeit after five years working in the operational teams across central and eastern England. From running major campaigns to recruiting Love Islanders to the cause, Jeff carries nature’s voice into the corridors of power across the UK and beyond.
