Ella joined Fenland SOIL in October 2025 as a Project Officer through the MDS Graduate Scheme, a leadership development programme in the fresh produce and agricultural sector. She is also working towards gaining a management qualification accredited by the Chartered Management Institute.
As a Project Officer, Ella is leading the Vertipeat and ADAS Cover Crop projects. Both aim to restore degraded peatlands in the Fens. Vertipeat focuses on producing vertical biomass, while the ADAS Cover Crop Project explores the use of cover crops to restore peatlands. Ella is also leading farmer communication and engagement at Fenland SOIL, and hopes to grow our community of farmers.
