Advisory Committee

Adam Dyster

Political Strategy Advisor

I’m a lifelong politics geek, and have been campaigning on nature and climate change since I was young, from climate education campaigns to putting nature at the heart of farming. Living in London, I’m particularly passionate about access to green space, and how important it is to our wellbeing, and I love long walks across the city. In my day job I work for the National Trust, talking with MPs and Peers about nature, conservation and heritage.

Joshua Styles

Ecological Advisor

To put it bluntly, I’m an all-round botanical fanatic! I love all things wildlife and am currently working as an ecologist, whilst I’m also Project Coordinator for the North-West Rare Plant Initiative, a conservation programme that I run with Chester Zoo looking to reverse the fortunes of over 40 plants at imminent risk of extinction within north-west England. As well as my ecology consultancy and conservation jobs, I also run regular training courses, most recently via the online platform, British Botany Training, looking to make training courses affordable to everybody.

Mark Robinson

Campaign Strategy Advisor

Mark works in campaigns at CPRE, the countryside charity, and organises with the UK Youth Climate Coalition, whose mission is to mobilise and empower young people to take positive action for climate justice. Mark has a particular interest in how new forms of campaigning are disrupting the status quo and how organisations and collectives are increasingly taking a systems-focussed, justice-centred approach to their organising. In his spare time, Mark enjoys biking, reading, music and (recently) cooking!
