Conservation

Before commencing practice, Bruce spent several years working in the Conservation field with the National Parks and Wildlife Service.
This worked ranged in scope from stabilisation (including ruins) to repair to restoration in accordance with ICOMOS principals. The practice has continued work in this area for the Botanic Gardens, TAFE and private clients.
