Since joining E3 in 2025, Abbie has undergone extensive training in ecological appraisal, biodiversity net gain assessment, botanical identification and bat data analysis, quickly becoming proficient in these areas. She is also certified in tree climbing and aerial rescue, enabling her to carry out tree assessments. 

Prior to joining E3, Abbie gained two seasons of bat surveying experience across the North of England. She also worked on habitat restoration and nature-based solutions projects in a previous job role, where she contributed to saltmarsh, estuarine, upland, and grassland habitat monitoring. This included vegetation surveys, habitat mapping using GIS, and ecological data collection to support biodiversity and carbon sequestration objectives.

Abbie has a BSc (Hons) in Environmental Science from Newcastle University. This gave her a strong foundation in environmental impact assessments, biodiversity net gain assessments, and ecological monitoring techniques. During her studies, she contributed to a variety of fieldwork projects, including large-scale rewilding initiatives and the creation of management plans for a nature reserve and a National Trust estate. She also gained experience in intertidal and rocky shore fieldwork, with her final research project investigating the 2021 Marine Mortality Event that impacted the North East coastline.

Abbie is particularly passionate about botany, amphibians, and sustainable land management, and is keen to continue developing her expertise in ecological consultancy.
