I am a bushwalking guide and work in various locations across Tasmania, with a particular interest in our state’s unique flora and fauna.

I live on the outskirts of New Norfolk in the Derwent Valley on a semi-rural property where I enjoy veggie and fruit gardening.

Born and raised in Denmark, I became an Australian citizen after moving to the Derwent Valley in 2002.

I was drawn to Tasmania because of its priceless environment and variety of landscapes, and once I started learning about its amazing biodiversity I was completely sold.

I am involved with a number of different community activities here in the Valley including a river care group, where I am especially interested in collecting local seeds and the growing of native plants.

When I have the time I like getting out on my bike and enjoying the beautiful local scenery.

Since moving to Tassie I have bushwalked extensively around the state and seen with my own eyes much unique wilderness that is not found anywhere else on earth. Sadly, I have also seen the devastating moonscapes left behind after clearfell logging.

I recognise the responsibility we have to be accountable stewards of these special places. The world is extremely lucky that there is still such unique biodiversity and we must do all in our power to preserve it, because once gone it will never come back, to the detriment of all living species.
