The Academy
Learn about the natural world from someone who loves it.
Live online talks every two weeks, recordings to watch whenever suits you, and a growing library of guides to learn from in your own time.
There's a particular kind of joy in understanding what you're looking at — knowing why the birds sing before dawn, what a fox is really doing in your garden, or how a whole woodland talks to itself underground.
The Academy is where we explore all of it together — animal behaviour, seasonal wildlife, conservation, and the science of the natural world, explained simply and warmly. No expertise needed. Wherever you are, you're welcome to join in.
