Nick’s wealth of knowledge brings the hidden world of insects, mysterious fungi, and ancient plant folklore to life, giving you a deeper appreciation of the land and its inhabitants. You may even spot roe deer or hares, and if conditions allow, you might take part in a wildlife survey, contributing to real conservation efforts.
