We are very excited to welcome Derek Gow to the Big Nature Day, who will give a talk on restoring Britain’s wildlife.
Derek Gow is a farmer and nature conservationist, and author of the recent book Bringing Back the Beaver. Born in Dundee in 1965, he left school at 17 and worked in agriculture for five years. Inspired by the writing of Gerald Durrell, all of whose books he has read – thoroughly – he jumped at the chance to manage a European wildlife park in central Scotland in the late 1990s, before moving on to develop two nature centres in England.
He now lives with his children, Maysie and Kyle, on a 300-acre farm on the Devon/Cornwall border, which he is in the process of rewilding. Derek has played a significant role in the reintroduction of the Eurasian beaver, the water vole and the white stork in England. He is currently working on a reintroduction project for the wildcat.
After his talk, Derek will be selling signed copies of his books.
