Why subscribe?

I am not going to put material behind a paywall - but I am VERY happy if anyone would like to support what I do … I have no ‘job’ … I earn my living by writing, photography (mostly choirs and other musicians), public speaking and acting as a spokesperson for the British Hedgehog Preservation Society. So - anything that comes in regularly - even £5/month - helps!

What you will get!

There will be a predominance of hedgehog related material appearing on here - partly because this is now acting as a sounding board for my hedgehog campaign petition on change.org - there are over a million signatures to the petition, but recent changes by the site have removed the capacity of people to leave comments … hopefully this site will enable that communication to return.

There will also be other material, not found on the petition site, appearing - as there is (this will come as a shock to some) more about me than just hedgehogs! My most recent book, Cull of the Wild, for example, has a lot going on in it that I would love to tease out in a public space.

So, please chat - share your thoughts - and also point me to other sub stacks that are worth the time … I have yet to get very involved in consuming on here, as I am mostly just producing … but there may come a time when I have a little more … time!

Writing and photographs of nature in all its beauty and complexity. There will be a lot about hedgehogs - but not exclusively!
