Blending an MA in Curating with expertise in Arboriculture, Conor, Founder and Principal Consultant of Westforest, offers a bespoke service for estates and heritage properties, revealing and celebrating the stories of their trees.

 

Drawing on a background in art, design, and the natural world, Conor creates tailored curated tree trails that enrich how visitors experience the landscape.

Alongside this creative work, Westforest provides expert tree surveys and management guidance to ensure the long-term health, safety, and legacy of significant landscape trees for future generations.
