Ross Gardner

Ross Gardner was born near Southend-on-Sea in Essex and for as long as he can remember has held a great affinity for the natural world. With a childhood spent experiencing the wild wonders of his local woods, grassland and marshes, this developed over the years into a deeply felt passion. Having gained a degree in Rural Environmental Management, he has worked for many years, voluntarily and professionally, in the environmental / conservation field. He currently works in the classroom at a special needs school.

Ross’s long standing interest in the natural world, spanning over thirty years, has allowed him to develop a substantial knowledge of British Wildlife. Writing about nature has emerged as an effective and positive way for him to express and share this great passion. Since 2002, he has contributed various articles to newspapers and magazines as well as media outlets online, and has now written two books with Brambleby Books.
