Our resident expert is David Beeson who will keep you up to date with the happenings in his well established wildlife garden. David has a long standing involvement in ecology and has a degree and Biochemistry. He has taught and provided materials for many academic institutions including Cambridge University. David has also been heavily involved in The Otter Trust and helped organise a conference in 1976 which lead, indirectly, to the ban on otter hunting.

Nowadays David and his wife, Annette, run their own B&B and maintain their amazing eco-friendly garden…… handing over to David:

“Today many people are starting to develop a wildlife-friendly garden, but here at Forest Edge (www.forest-edge.co.uk) ours has been up and running for nearly twenty years now and we have a good deal of experience that we can share with others. Join us monthly, as the year progresses, to experience the ups and downs of an eco-friendly garden.

Hopefully the articles will stimulate you to enjoy the ‘added dimension’ achieved by giving wildlife a space in your garden too, and naturally if you have questions or queries I’d be only too willing to help out (for free!) as much as possible.
