Episode 30 - Ros Wardman

Having started her career working as a freelance stage manager in theatre and opera, Ros Wardman is now Forest Industries Advisor with Scottish Forestry, alongside being a Mum and passionate advocate for forestry and the wider sector.

Join us as Ros shares her story of swapping the wooden boards of the stage for the real thing as she studied forestry at Newton Rigg. Since then Ros has been working across south and central Scotland in a variety of roles with Forestry and Land Scotland and Scottish Forestry. Her love of forestry began on family holidays and days out so, despite growing up in urban Liverpool, Ros has a deep rooted love for forestry and woodlands.

We discuss the challenges Ros has overcome - progressing on return from maternity leave, a male dominated sector and so much more besides. Ros demonstrates her passion and advocacy for forestry and the development of small businesses that are connected to the sector through the stories she tells us and experiences shared.
