Our guest  today works wonders making a big difference quietly and purposefully and as a consequence,  She has been named number 27 of the 50 most influential conservationists in the UK, her beautiful books sit on my shelf, but Curlew Moon is my favourite. Not only is it a beautifully crafted tribute to our iconic wading bird and its plight, but it was just the start of a conservation journey for Mary who’s inspiring influence is about to stretch as far as our classrooms.
