A Boro Boy

Joshua McGowan has followed his dream of immersing himself in nature and conservation. A Boro Boy: Connections with Nature reveals how

he has discovered and established a lifelong connection with the natural world.




Growing up on Teesside allowed Joshua to explore diverse habitats and learn to respect his local environment. A quarter of a century later, his passion for the countryside and its inhabitants is just as strong. Join him on his journey of discovery through the moorlands, wetlands and industrial landscapes across Britain.




As the world faces ever greater environmental challenges, it is vital that we all become more aware of what we have around us - and that we all share the responsibility for looking after it. This lyrical and heartfelt book shows how that can be done.
