Customer Reviews
Brilliant for the amateur naturalist (& activist!)
Well researched, well produced environmental education program - perfect for nature lovers of all ages. Fowler does an excellent job of introducing (& repeating) key concepts in a way that listeners will understand & be sure to remember.
Fowler’s calm manner conveys a surprising amount of information in a down to earth, friendly style. Never overtly political, Fowler’s commitment to environmental causes shines through, and in something so simple as telling listeners to ‘not throw empty chip bags out the car window’, he makes broader environmental change accessible to us all.
