Jez Ralph worked on woodland regeneration projects before a Nuffield Farming Scholarship allowed him to travel the world studying advances in small-scale digital timber processing. Jez went on to manage the development of the Forest School at Hooke Park for the Architectural Association School of Architecture. In 2013 Jez founded Evolving Forests whose work focuses on creating resilient future forestry through the development of localised supply chains, innovation of timber and site specific storytelling with film and other media.
