Mirabelle joined Forest Research in December 2023 as a Forestry Advisor, delivering training on forest ecology and silvicultural practices.

Mirabelle’s consultancy focuses on sustainable forestry concepts such as Continuous Cover Forestry (CCF) and Forest Development Types (species mixtures) to promote the management of forests for resilience against climate change and related issues (pests and diseases) in the UK. She also has experience supporting survey teams in Scotland, undertaking stocking density assessment, natural regeneration, and production surveys.

With her ecological and geographical background, Mirabelle can assist other members of the Forest Advisory Team on training in forest soil identification and plant indicator species for inferring soil quality.
