  • ...with the legendary Chris Packham

    Actual Chris Packham! I was overjoyed to get some time to chew the fat with the author, presenter and long time naturalist. It was all to do with his support for the The National Lottery funded Flows to the Future project, and the artwork celebrating Flows to the Future's Milly Revill Hayward.
