We’re delighted to welcome Cameron to the team as our new SuDS+ Support Officer.
A proud Northeast local and keen lover of the outdoors, Cameron is passionate about conserving and improving landscapes and waterways in ways that highlight their natural beauty while delivering real benefits for local communities.
Cameron joins us with an academic background in civil engineering and project management, studied at degree level. By combining his technical skills with his environmental interests, he developed a strong passion for Natural Flood Management (NFM). This led him to explore the topic further during his MSc, where his research focused on why natural flood management is not implemented as widely as it should be for a more sustainable future.
One of the key findings from Cameron’s research highlighted a lack of clear methods and data to demonstrate the wider social and environmental benefits of natural flood management. Motivated to help address this gap, Cameron joined the Wear Rivers Trust as a Monitoring Support Officer.
In his role supporting the SuDS+ project in Stanley, Cameron will focus on capturing and developing ways to record the community benefits of sustainable drainage systems, helping to build stronger evidence for their value beyond flood risk reduction alone.
We’re thrilled to have Cameron on board and look forward to the expertise, enthusiasm, and fresh perspective he brings to the team.
