Henry Nolan

Henry Nolan is currently working towards a Masters in Conservation Science at the University of Queensland. Prior to this, he received an Bachelors degree from from The College of New Jersey, dual majoring in Biology and Political Science.

Henry’s passion for conservation is a product of a lifetime spent outdoors, first in Sydney during his childhood, then the Northeast United States in his teen and university years, as well as frequently visiting the UK. He is definitely happy to be back in Australia again after so many years living elsewhere. Henry worked for many years as a camp counsellor, where he taught the campers about the value of wildlife and introduced numerous programs within the organisation to promote conservation.

Henry’s conservation interests are broad and varied, but he has a particular interest in wildlife interactions, such as pollination, with a particular interest in bees and bee behaviour. He is also interested in soil conservation and erosion control, which is the field he ultimately aims to work in. He is also particularly passionate about environmental education, always looking to expand the public knowledge and understanding of conservation issues, as well as aiming to take what can sometimes be perceived as dry and making them exciting and engaging.
