Derek Gow

After his last sell out talk at Calstock Arts, Derek Gow returns to update us on the important work he is doing in rewilding and nature renewal.

Derek is a farmer turned nature conservationist who has played a significant role in the reintroduction of the Eurasian beaver, the water voles and the white stork. He is currently working on a reintroduction project for the wildcat and increasing the numbers of harvest mice and glow worms. He is also rewilding his 300 acre farm near Lifton, Devon.

Derek is a leading force behind "Keep it Wild" a charity set up to fight against the biodiversity crisis and his talk will outline what the charity is doing and how you can help.

Author of a number of acclaimed books, Derek's latest "Hunt for the Shadow Wolf" attempts to uncover the true nature of this animal and what role it could play in Britain`s landscape.
