About Tom
Tom is an ecologist with over nine years experience working with lands all over the British Isles. Queering ecology has helped them to see our world through a lens that de-centers the human and acknowledges the dynamic and fluid relationships that make up every aspect of our lives. They have been facilitating walks, weavings and talks for a few years now, communicating and sharing belonging to our universe with many queer communities.
