About Jimmy
Jimmy Doherty is one of the UK’s best-known farmers and conservationists. His journey at Jimmy’s Farm started over 20 years ago when he took on a leasehold of a 100-acre farm just outside Ipswich which was followed in a BBC series called ‘Jimmy’s Farm’. The farm now has an award-winning Wildlife Park alongside the working farm.
Jimmy has always been passionate about nature. After gaining a degree in Zoology, Jimmy worked at the Entomology Department at London’s Natural History Museum before moving on to Coventry University where he researched for a Doctorate in Entomology, set up an insect laboratory and taught Animal Ecology and Animal Philosophy to undergraduate students. Jimmy’s heart still lies with entomology and is keen to work with Nature’s SAFE further to help develop new ways to preserve our pollinators from extinction and boost biodiversity.
