I don't know who the lady stnding next to me was. But it's not Amanda Bryan. I remember trying to convince Amanda to be in the photo as a former Forestry Commissioner but she didn't want to. Comment left on 16 April 2020 at 08:42 by Wilma Harper
I'm wondering if it's Pamela Zielinski one of the FLS Strategy Board members. Comment left on 23 April 2020 at 11:15 by Wilma Harper
Hello Wilma, I don't think that the lady in question is Pamela Zielinski. I used to work with the lady in the image and to my embarresment have forgotten her name and where she used to work. I am sure she was a Forestry Commission Research adviser in HQ, but?
