Yesterday was the final day to send in entries to A Focus On Nature. We more than doubled our applications to the project, and on a preliminary reading the quality appears to be outstanding – we have poets, writers, photographers, videographers, PhD candidates, all of whom are positively oozing commitment and passion for the natural world.

“I am anxious for you and the boy’s future – make the boy interested in natural history if you can, it is better than games, they encourage at some schools – I know you will keep him out in the open air.” – Captain Falcon Scott to his wife, 29th March 2012
This weekend at the BTO 79th Annual Conference I had the privilege of meeting some exceptional individuals, including Kane Brides, Gillian Dinsmore, Chris Bridges and Alex Rhodes. All were dynamic and engaging, and all had a story to tell. They were excellently received with much applause and nods of agreement, as they highlighted their experiences as young people in the world of nature conservation.
