After working 36 years for Nature Conservancy Council, English Nature and Natural England, latterly working mainly on signage for NNRs, I took the opportunity of early retirement in 2011 as part of the Government cuts.
I've always (well, since the age of about 6) been interested in nature, especially plants, but got into landscape photography a few years ago and have enjoyed a couple of Light & Land trips with Charlie Waite (Tuscany and Namibia).
