Fintan Damer is a practicing Ecologist working for one of the world’s leading engineering and environmental consultancies, Mott MacDonald.
Although he has been working as an ecologist for the past number of years, Fintan has a wide breadth of knowledge and understanding in other related areas of environmental science.
Previously Fintan worked in the wider horticulture industry where he accumulated over 30 years of experience working in various sectors of the industry including private commercial operations, public sector local authorities, and as a self-employed landscape contractor and garden designer.
His lifelong passion for nature has lead him to question many aspects of operational norms in land use industries, not least those that are perhaps questionably considered ‘green’ or ‘sustainable’.
Although primarily operating as a consultant ecologist, Fintan is still intrinsically linked to the landscape industry, not least through his involvement with the Garden and Landscape designers Association (IRL).
He sees his combined occupational functions as a means to bringing about the routine integration of nature and nature-based solutions into all aspects of landscape manipulation, including public amenity and commercial uses, flood control, climate resilience, agricultural exploitations and biodiversity restoration.
