Born in 1921 she was one of the leading naturalists in Wales.  After gaining her doctorate in agriculture and botany at Aberystwyth University, she specialised in island ecology, studying the Welsh islands before moving on to lecture in Britain and abroad.  She was one of the first women scientists in Antarctica and worked on penguin islands in South Africa.  From 1961 she lectured at Cardiff University leading field trips in Britain and abroad, and was a lifelong supporter of Flat Holm.
