Ellie Oakley

Community Tree Planting Assistant

I joined FCCT as a seasonal Community Tree Planting Officer in October 2024. I work across Fife engaging with and supporting communities in planning and delivering tree planting in local green spaces, as a part of the wider aims and objectives for Fife Climate Forest.

I have a background in conservation studying Countryside Management at SRUC. Since graduating, I have been lucky enough to have volunteered and worked as a ranger across some of Scotland’s most amazing natural sites from Shetland to Dumfries. I have just moved from the Isle of Arran where I have been working as a Ranger with the National Trust for Scotland over the last three years. I grew up in Fife, so I am looking forward to exploring the beautiful Fife coast again!
