Alice is an entomologist and manages the Forest Trapping Network run by Forest Research. The Forest Trapping Network is a network of insect traps which surveys Great Britain for quarantine and priority tree pests.
Alice joined Forest Research in 2023 having previously worked for UCL as a postdoctoral researcher, studying the effects of farmland pond condition on pollinator communities. She completed a BSc in Zoology at Manchester University in 2014, before undertaking an MRes in conservation at the University of Liverpool in 2015. In 2017, Alice embarked on a PhD studying the functional roles of ants in a savanna ecosystem.
