Matt grew up in Newlyn, before moving away at 21 to study a degree in Forestry & Conservation in Inverness. He worked as a countryside ranger for four years in the Outer Hebrides, then in a similar role for the Hertfordshire Council, before returning “home” to Penwith to take up his current job as Access Officer with the Penwith Landscape Partnership.

The Penwith Landscape Partnership is a scheme funded by the Heritage Lottery Fund, supporting the sustainable management of the heritage of Penwith – natural, historic and landscape –  enabling people to get involved in its heritage through learning and volunteering.
