Meet The Team

Ed – Managing Director

A gamekeepers son that had worked at a leading shooting school formed Evergreen Rabbit control back in 2000, the idea was born after realising there was demand for a such a skill set as no other company provided an effective or versatile service to control rabbits. Ed has been a full time and highly qualified rabbit controller ever since, running much of the day to day work and can be found out most days (and nights) of the week managing wildlife.

He has worked successfully with a team in most counties across the UK and further to control and eradicate rabbits from areas as well as working over a huge acreage each year including islands. Ed organised the Isle of Canna rabbit cull in 2014 and proud to see the restoration of the island now the numbers are under control . Ed has worked effectively with every method of control and especially enjoys working alongside the dogs, birds of prey and ferrets .

In his spare time he likes explore the sea either diving off the Dorset coast in day or night and travelling around the Scottish islands. Ed can also be found writing for various magazines and has featured in various videos as well as been the subject of TV programmes.
