The Seasonal Eye

Veteran environmental tutor and retired countryside ranger Keith Taylor seeks out spiritual and visual riches as he undertakes a year travelling to locations that have always intrigued him or may offer a fresh relationship with the outdoors, both through his own seasonally aware eyes and those of equally restless colleagues. Here, in The Seasonal Eye, he takes the reader through extreme parts of Britain, from the foot of an oak in Savernake Forest, Wiltshire, to the caves of a Nottingham border ice age sanctuary, our coastlines and nature reserves now managed by our county naturalists trusts and the varied terrains of the Cairngorms. This inquisitive man invites us to join him in his quests to discover how the compulsion to merge supposition with reality provides a clearer understanding of the precarious yet adaptive environmental issues that surround us all.
