George Greiff is a very talented young man who came over from South Africa to attend Portsmouth University but after year they said he should not be there as he had not lived in the UK for 3 years.

He was devastated but took a job and after a year applied to Oxford where he is now reading Biological Sciences. He found an interest in bryophytes and has discovered many new species on the Island.

He was recently awarded the prestigious 2018 National Biodiversity Network’s Adult Newcomer Award for wildlife recording.
