Description

I am originally from Australia but recently finished my PhD in Sweden where I do research on how trees interact with fungi and bacteria and how they influence the functioning of ecosystems, I am interested in agroforestry and would like to someday soon start my own agroforestry farm and grow fruit, nuts, timber, and mushrooms such as truffles, I'm also interested in learning more about animal husbandry and various methods and techniques of agriculture, I consider myself to be calm, down to earth, hardworking and eager to learn new things, I can also share my knowledge about mycology and forest ecology.

My younger brother Peregrine runs a landscape construction business in Melbourne, Australia, he is very experienced with landscape construction, planting, maintenance, building/carpentry, irrigation systems, paving, concreting, welding, good with a chainshaw and pruning. He likes music, 4wd driving, camping, fishing, cooking, and is generally an all round good guy, down to earth, laid back, kind and hardworking.
