Kristina worked on delivering the Hen Harrier Programme, working mainly in the Slieve Aughty region since 2019. Through this, she has gained valuable experience in the running of a results-based agri-environmental scheme. She has a Masters in Biodiversity and Land Use Planning and a degree in Environmental Science, both completed in NUIG. She has a keen interest in ecosystem services, habitat restoration, farmland biodiversity and birds – particularly waders and raptors. Kristina enjoys working with farmers to support them in enhancing biodiversity on their farm.
