Jane Carruthers, Babergh District Councillor for Hadleigh South
I was elected to Babergh District Council in May 2023. A long-term member of the Green Party I believe influencing policy at the local and national level to be of utmost importance, alongside environmental campaigning. There is a climate and ecological emergency that needs urgent action.
I initially trained as a nurse, before taking a degree in Geography which led to work as a Field Ecologist. I have also worked as a self-employed gardener, Kindergarten Assistant and Museum Assistant. I currently work for Suffolk County Council as a bank Reablement Support Worker for Home First and occasionally work as a freelance botanist.
My passion is natural history, with particular interests in plants and birds. It was this love of nature that brought me into Green politics.
