We offer guided wildlife walks in #WildEssex (and elsewhere) for anyone interested in wildlife and the countryside. Please contact Jude on jmgibson1959@btinternet.com for further details of upcoming events and to get on our mailing list.
We are pleased to make regular donations to charities involved in the conservation of the places we visit and plants and animals we enjoy, especially Buglife and the Essex Wildlife Trust.
Most of our walks are followed with a blog – just see List of Blogs | Chris Gibson Wildlife for a listing.
