Mr Watson is a member of the ecology team based in the built and natural environment division of RPS, on Compass Point Business Park, in St Ives.
Mr Watson said: “I am very pleased to receive the award. It provides current and prospective clients with reassurance that I am suitably qualified.
“On a personal level it is nice to receive acknowledgement of the effort I’ve put into remaining up to date in the field of invasive species.”
