About the author

Andy Beer’s formative memories of his childhood were spent exploring the insides of overgrown hawthorn hedgerows in the fields across the road, trying to catch speckled wood butterflies and sitting on gates listening to yellowhammers. At the age of 17 he spent a summer on the small island of Fair Isle and returned with a love of long horizons and a habit of noticing things. After working on the Woodland Trust’s millennium woods project for ten years, he joined the National Trust and was involved with developing a nature campaign called 50 things to do before you are 11 ¾. He is now the Director of the Midlands, responsible for the land and buildings held by the National Trust from the Welsh border to the Lincolnshire coast – his job is not just to look after these places, but to make them as rich in nature and locally loved as possible.
