Covering the outdoors, natural history, environmental science and issues 

I have been a freelance writer, photographer and editor since 1993. My work for clients in the private, non-profit and public sectors include magazine and newspaper features, newsletters, annual reports, research projects, books and web content.

My work focuses on helping people better appreciate and understand the natural world, including the threats, risks and challenges it faces, the actions being taken to meet those challenges, as well as the benefits, value and opportunities it provides us.

If you need to tell people about the outdoors, natural history, environmental science and issues, I can help. I am available on both a long-term contract and per project basis.

You'll find more about me and my work on this website. Please have a look around, and thanks for visiting.
