Research & Conservation
A passion for connecting people with nature
TIM CHAMBERLAIN
I am passionate about connecting people with nature and tree climbing is an inspiring way to explore our environment. As a Tree Safety Expert, recent expeditions have been to the cloud forests of Costa Rica and Honduras, to the towering redwood trees of California and carrying out research on rare raptors in Dorset, UK.

Adventures in the cloud forest
One of my passions is Ravens which are fascinating and intelligent birds. Once rare when I was a young laddie, their population has now recovered. Nesting on both cliffs and tree tops, they are a delight to study.

Volunteering
As an active volunteer verify tree records for the Woodland Trust's Ancient Tree Inventory as well as hunting for new records. I also carry out monitoring and research on rare raptors in partnership with Forestry England as a member of the Dorset Raptor Study Group.
Live cameras
Live camera action!
As well as working with TV presenters, a lot of my work involves assisting the install and maintenance of live nest cameras on the nests of some of rarest wild birds.
From cleaning the lens of the Loch Garten Osprey camera to the logistics of an eagle camera install, great care and expertise is required and all work is carried out under licence and in association with the land owner.
