Turn and Face the Strange

Dr Jack Hatfield returns with an updated talk about how our flora, fauna and landscapes are changing and what this may mean for the future. The national and international trends will be considered but also what is happening in Barton and the surrounding region showing inter connectedness and how everyone can have an influence.

Born and educated in Barton, growing up on the banks of the Humber sparked an interest that developed into a career. Jack completed a BSc in zoology at the university of Durham followed by an MSc and PhD at Imperial College London researching Brazilian deforestation.

Jack now researches biodiversity and ecology at the University of York. His work examines how human impacts are changing the world’s flora and fauna, aiming to understand what this means for our future.
