ABOUT RUBY FREE
Ruby Free is an award-winning Campaigner, Writer and Conservation Biologist based in County Antrim.
Passionate about saving nature and reconnecting people to it, she’s worked and volunteered in the environmental conservation sector since she was 16 and has been named one of the 100 most influential Environmental Professionals in the UK on the ENDS Power List.
Since living on Rathlin Island and moving to Ballyconnelly Farm, Ruby has pursued an MSc in Ecological Management and Conservation Biology, which took her to another island off the coast of Canada where she conducted her research thesis.
Back home in Ireland, Ruby has been working away @BallyconnellyFarm with her partner Craig, setting up a community growing space and rewilding areas of the farm for nature. Alongside her passion of nature-writing, these days any spare opportunity to unwind is spent adventuring with her dog Isla, surfing, growing food or illustrating.
We are delighted to have programmed this event as part of this years Red Sails Festival.
