Yzzy is a recently self-employed gardener but has a history of working in human resources and customer services.

Living in the beautiful Elan Valley, Joel has always been inspired by the countryside, ecology and wildlife of mid-Wales. After studying Environmental Science at Portsmouth University, he has worked in forestry for the past 14 years. At 9Trees, Joel is instrumental in getting the trees planted, harnessing his past experience to both help draw up the tree planting plans and act as a key link between the landowner and contractors.

Jo lives in Lancashire and works in stormwater management. She has had a long career in all aspects of pollution control and environment protection, but she recognises the risks of climate change and she enjoys supporting 9Trees so that she can contribute to the creation of new broadleaved woodlands that provide safe habitats for many birds and woodland creatures.

As well as the obvious ecological advantages of planting, Neil is passionate about the lesser known, less acknowledged intangible benefits of trees (for example, socio-cultural, psychosocial, or place theory values). He completed a master's in Forestry at the University of Bangor, Wales, in 2021. As a researcher at 9Trees, Neil wishes to contribute towards their goals in any small way possible, to find solutions towards the climate crisis through trees.
