Oliver Hill Profile

Experience
Travelled for 6 months around mainland China in my gap year. Focussing mainly on the study of kung fu.

I was born and raised in the heart of the Devonshire countryside so wildlife as always been a major feature of my existence. This lifestyle has given me a strong basis in outdoor survival and wildlife watching. Much of my young life was spent camping in our woods, watching wildlife and appreciating nature. I have developed a keen sense for wilderness survival through the tutelage of parents, local farmers and woodsmen and just living there and building a fire or a campsite. My parents have always been avid naturalists and for as long as I can remember have taken me along to the meetings and lectures of various societies to which they belong such as the RSPB (Royal Society for the Protection of Birds), the Devon wildlife trust and the Devon herpetological society. This has ingrained the ability to quickly recognise those details which allow us to differentiate between similar appearing species. Conservation has always been a great concern of mine and I feel strongly about actively doing my part towards helping get us back on track. My contributions to the team would revolve around my survival skills and knowledge of wildlife tracking and recognition.
