Fernanda White

Fernanda's scientific grounding cemented her lifelong passion for the environment. By the age of five, she could identify wild birds in the South African bush by call and was acutely aware of human impact on the natural world and our personal responsibility to conserve it. 

Her deep understanding and genuine concern for landscape-scale environmental enhancement now benefits our Sustainability team and will be of immense value to our clients as Fernanda plans and develops peatland restoration projects. It’s a rapidly developing sector, but that doesn’t faze her at all.

In recognising the real economic value and importance of our natural assets, Fernanda is driven to connect finance and biodiversity enhancement projects to make real change, improve the wider landscape and help mitigate climate change and biodiversity loss.

As an Army Reservist Logistics Officer Fernanda has the key qualities needed to ably organise and deliver projects under pressure. Not afraid to get her boots wet and hands dirty, she’s getting stuck into major peatland restoration projects in some of Scotland’s most iconic landscapes.
