After working in environmental consulting for a number of years, Rebecca returned to university to conduct a PhD. Her thesis 'Strategic Management of Artificial Watering Points for Biodiversity Conservation' examined the ecological impacts of artificial watering points. Upon moving to the South West Slopes in 2002, Rebecca became aware of the urgent need to better protect and understand temperate woodlands. Over the past few years, Rebecca has been active in this regard working as a Project Officer (Biodiversity Conservation in the Wheat-Sheep Belt) with DECC and later joining David's team of field ecologists and becoming involved with the South West Slopes Restoration Study and Biodiversity Baseline Monitoring Project and associated extension programs. As part of David Lindenmayer's team, Rebecca also assists with field surveys and associated research activities across several other projects and is currently researching the habitat requirements of declining woodland birds.
