Lucy Cameron – Operations Assistant

Lucy joined the Naturetrek team in January 2022 as temporary staff member, but loved her role so much that she became a permanent member of the team! In her busy role, Lucy supports Operations Manager, Barney Jones, as his assistant. She manages a whole host of tasks to ensure Barney’s tours run smoothly, from replying to client enquiries or liaising with Tour Leaders, to sending out the all-important Final Joining Instructions to clients about to depart on their holiday! The team cover many tours, from Africa, America, and many parts of Europe – and one of Lucy’s favourite parts of the job is viewing the stunning photographs from each tour.

Not long before joining Naturetrek, Lucy graduated from the University of Winchester with a degree in Creative Writing. Wildlife and the perils of the Climate Crisis have always been a running theme in her fictional writing and are subjects of great importance to her. At the top of her wildlife 'Bucket List' is witnessing an elephant migration in Sri Lanka. So far, her wildlife highlights have been watching dolphins breaching on a trip to Weymouth and being up close to a Loggerhead Turtle in Zakynthos!
