Following Herefordshire Wildlife Trust’s AGM, naturalist, author and TV presenter Nick Baker will give a talk which will be part autobiography and part a hard hitting call to action. Building a Naturalist is a journey through the development of a life-long biophile. Expect a journey that spans the last 44 years and zings all over the planet – connecting via experiences – familiar UK habitats to stories from more exotic shores. Nick will touch on subjects as broad as how keeping caterpillars in a jam jar lead to working with Britain’s rarest butterfly, how playing with grass snakes helped Nick tackle a cobra, the similarities between badgers and black rhinos and how the most endangered species in the world is a child playing free in nature. This talk explores why this is and suggests how we might go about rewinding a young generation and in doing so – save the world.
