Naomi Ross – Secretary

A waste policy specialist at the Scottish Environment Protection Agency, Naomi is originally from Yorkshire but has lived in the Stirling area for more than 25 years, currently in Fallin with her husband and geriatric cat. She has a BSc in Natural Sciences from the Open University and is a Chartered Waste Manager. In 2021, Naomi was given a spot on the COP26 Green Power List for her efforts in launching Scotland's first online clothes hire service. Although the service closed last year, she gained a host of skills from the experience and is keen to put these to use at Transition Stirling. She's happiest encouraging wildlife into her garden, wandering aimlessly in the woods and hanging out with the people she loves!

She has volunteered with Transition Stirling since June 2022, starting off in the Community Food Project and Tool Library before being encouraged to join the board. Her interest lies in finding ways to support a transition to a just and environmentally safe future for all members of our communities.
