ABOUT DAVID PRŶS-JONES

As a proven environmental leader, I’ve had the privilege of guiding the environmental strategy and delivery across some of the UK’s most complex infrastructure projects — from rail and road, to major port and housing developments.At HS2, I lead the Natural Environment teams covering Ecology & Biodiversity, Landscape, Water, Soils & Agriculture, and Active Travel. Together, we’re driving forward HS2’s commitment to environmental improvement — not just within the organisation, but across an extensive supply chain. My focus is on ensuring technical excellence, robust standards, and rigorous assurance processes that meet regulatory requirements, satisfy stakeholders, and deliver meaningful outcomes for nature and the communities we serve.I’m passionate about landscape-scale nature recovery and embedding sustainability into the heart of infrastructure delivery.
