Stuart Mabbutt aka The Wildman Part 2

Part 2

If you've heard of Stuart Mabbutt, it's likely to be through his podcast or his business Wildman Environmental Learning.

His sensory nature workshops enable people to connect with the natural world, and sometimes an unlikely beginning leads to a life revelation.

When he’s not doing that, Stuart is a wildlife sound recordist and producer, an author, public speaker, radio host and a wildlife gardening consultant.

He's also a campaigner, heading The Genuine Disabled Countryside Access Task Force, which highlights the issues encountered by people of different abilities. His YouTube videos are enlightening and revelatory, as he invites a film crew to join him trying to access the countryside in his wheelchair.
