It is with great pleasure that we welcome Professor Roger Crofts back to the Crichton. Roger trained as a geographer and geomorphologist. He has worked in universities, The Scottish Office, and was the Founder CEO of Scottish Natural Heritage.
In retirement Roger advises, lobbies, writes and talks to anybody who will listen on environmental strategy and policy, geoheritage conservation, caring for and protecting nature and good governance. He works in Scotland, Iceland and internationally.
Roger hopes to help people understand the Earth’s heritage and environment and to care for it more effectively. He remains active in the voluntary environmental and educational bodies in Scotland, the UK, and internationally. His work has been recognised by numerous honours and awards internationally, in the UK, Scotland and Iceland.
Roger’s lecture will celebrate the beauty of trees in their native habitats, he will go on to ask whether we are happy with earlier introductions, spells out the problems we have caused and considers what we should be doing to rectify the situation in Scotland.
We hope you will be able to join us.
