Simon has an unabating passion for our countryside; as well as having a vast knowledge of the nature which surrounds us. He also has a fascination for our connection to the world we live in and the lessons we can all learn by immersing ourselves within it for relaxation and mental wellbeing.
As a result, he is passionate about sharing this with a wider audience and encourages the local community to join him outside on his ‘The View Over the Wall experience’. Simon also gives presentations on the subject and is an author of two books about learning from the world around us, one also called ‘The View Over the Wall’.
Simon has also been a long-term advocate of wildlife friendly gardens. He is a qualified teacher, mental health first aider and first aider. He was a Field teacher for the RSPB (Royal Society for the Protection of Birds) and has worked with the Kent Wildlife trust.
