Nigel's bio A background in both art and zoology has led me to working with our own species as well as a bunch of others. I like group or collective working, collaboration and mixed discipline problem solving. I’m interested in the nurturing of social capital & natural capital and the impacts they have, to a lesser degree, on economic capital and to a greater degree on the functionality of commnuities. Note: I think ‘capital’ is an unfortunate term, for me, in this case, social and natural capitals are more about healthy stocks of informal community value and less about how cash rich a place is.
