Thoroughly enjoyed my interview with Seabridge Radio last week - very professional interviewers and some excellent questions! They had really done their research.

Thoroughly enjoyed some time getting my hands dirty today (a rarity for me these days) clearing old, plastic tree guards out from woodland at #Bateswood nature reserve, Newcastle-under-Lyme, Staffordshire. #wilderstokewildernewcastle #conservationist #getoutside #freshair

It's started...! Thank you to our volunteers for all their work removing tree guards and picking up litter at Bateswood reserve in Newcastle-under-Lyme 🌳🙂We've got a full calendar of family events and surveying opportunities across Stoke and Newcastle, watch this space...

Enjoyed escaping to #Wales for a day to visit some old haunts - with a (very!) early start I made it to the #elanvalley in time for #sunrise. Visit Wales 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿 Cwm Elan Valley OM Digital Solutions Ordnance Survey #goldenhour #wildness #wildwales #worththeearlystart #landscapelayers #getoutside

These fantastic photos were taken near Hadrian's wall by Richard Guy The adder is a relatively small, stocky snake that prefers woodland, heathland and moorland habitats. The adder is the only venomous snake we have! 🐍 📸: Richard Guy
