Selena moved to the Chew Valley in the 1980s, raising her family here and completing her training as a Public Health Doctor. She is a founding member of The Community Farm, a Veg Box customer, a keen gardener, and in 2018 she took on the chair role for the Farm's Wildlife Group. The Wildlife Group has led the way on introducing pollinator-friendly flowering plants, changing the management of hedgerows and field margins, and linking with numerous biodiversity experts to ensure the Farm is planning for, and monitoring biodiversity on our site. As Professor of Public Health at the University of the West of England (now Emerita Professor), and four years Chair of the West of England Nature Partnership, Selena is helping the Farm become part of a wider context, enabling us to be visible and valued within the local area as part of local nature recovery approaches.
