Author
Will Rolls spends a lot of time dealing with things relating to trees, fire and sustainability (not necessarily in that order). He started out studying forestry at university, and then branched out into related subjects such a social forestry and biomass fuels. He lives in Sheffield with his wife and family where he runs a forestry and biomass consultancy, and is studying part time for a masters in sustainability. If you give him a woodland to play in and a stick to poke things with, then he’ll be pretty satisfied with life.
