Morgan has championed biodiversity on developments throughout the UK with extensive experience of working on large planning projects with complex ecological requirements, as well as producing corporate GI and biodiversity strategies for major landholders and developers.

He won the CIEEM Members Award 2018 and was a Finalist in CIRIA’s BIG Biodiversity Champion Award 2018 for his work with GI.

He can often be found with his binoculars at Canvey Wick Nature Reserve or Rainham Marshes, with many of the Thames Gateway sites in Essex providing inspiration for his biodiverse GI design, which often focuses on rare birds and invertebrates found in the region.
