New Guest Speaker to HAWL, Dr Sarah Benyon will be talking about how we can use Dung Beetles to fertilise and aerate our soils for free as well as reducing greenhouse gases. Dr Sarah is an academic entomologist, ecologist and farmer and the founder of The Bug Farm, Bug Farm Foods Ltd and Dung Beetles Direct.

After university, Sarah set up an environmental consultancy business, working with farmers and conservation organisations to deliver advice on habitat management for invertebrates. Alongside her consultancy, Sarah studied for doctorate (The University of Oxford), looking into the impacts of agricultural intensification on non-target invertebrates and the ecosystem services they deliver. 

We are very excited to have Dr Sarah as one of our Guest Speakers this year!!
