Why every kid needs a swamp. And why every swamp needs a kid.
Posted on 24 October, 2015 by Connecting Country
Sean Dooley, Editor of Australian Birdlife magazine and author of The Big Twitch, will talk about how important local wild spaces are for developing a sense of connection with nature. Growing up next to a suburban swamp may not be some people’s idea of an idyllic childhood but for Sean, the window into the wonders of the natural world that it opened up to him was to profoundly affect the rest of his life in some unexpected and sometimes amusing ways.
What can you see in the reeds?
