The Town Council have appointed Jacob Gibson, 27, as the new Ranger, in partnership with the South Downs National Park Authority, to oversee the plans for the ecology and conservation of the Council’s green open spaces, including the Heath and Pond.

He tells Mike Waddington that he brings a lot of experience and says there is much to build on here, and great volunteers and projects.

He has worked on a lot of projects in Plymouth, the New Forest and also over seas in Panama and Nicaragua.

He has a fondness for bats and had wanted to work in conservation since hearing of global warming in primary school.

Many projects are to be launched so keep an eye on the Council's website and Facebook and of course, here at Shine Radio.
