The Big Canopy Campout

Posted on September 4, 2018 by Nina Seale • Leave a comment

I’m going to climb a tree to 80 metres. That’s pretty high. Higher than the Leaning Tower of Pisa, at 56 metres. Higher than Nelson’s Column in Trafalgar Square, at 51 metres. Just 13 metres short of the Statue of Liberty. But I’m not just going to climb that high, pee my pants and climb … Continue reading →

It’s not me, it’s you. How to dump plastic (for a month)

Posted on June 28, 2018 by Nina Seale • Leave a comment

If there was ever a perfect case study into how documentaries can engage the public in an environmental campaign, Blue Planet II and oceans plastic awareness is it. (Blackfish is also up there, but let’s not digress) Like a lot of us, I think, I’ve been a well-intentioned but lazy consumer. I started carrying around … Continue reading →

Are birds the most romantic animals?

Five reasons the world needs wetlands

Posted on February 2, 2018 by Nina Seale • Leave a comment

As far as habitats go, bogs and swamps do not receive the same amount of attention as tropical rainforests or coral reefs.
