Public speaking
Alan speaking at the WILD10 conference in Salamanca, Spain in 2013

I have spoken at events all over the world and can deliver inspiring and stimulating talks on a wide range of subjects, including:

The Caledonian Forest

  • Restoring the Caledonian Forest
  • Glen Affric: a vision for a wild forest     
  • The Importance of Aspen in restoring the Caledonian Forest
  • An Introduction to Plant Galls
  • The Ecology of Aphids
  • The World of Wood Ants
  • Details of many elements of the Caledonian Forest, from fungi and lichens to slime moulds and spiders – I can do a specific presentation on each of these

Rewilding and Ecological Restoration

  • Restoring the Earth: The Essential Work of the 21st Century
  • Rewilding the world, rewilding ourselves

Other ecosystems

  • Araucaria: Ancient Forests of the Andes
  • Tropical rainforests – the womb of life
  • Mangroves: Tidal forests of the tropics
  • Castles of Sand: the sandstone coastline of Moray in Scotland
  • Biodiversity of the Findhorn Hinterland area in Moray, Scotland

Other presentations

  • Climate change and consciousness
  • The Planetary Benefits of a Plant-based Diet
  • The power to make a positive difference – how we can each find our personal power to make a meaningful positive contribution in the world

All of these are accompanied by my own high quality photographs.

I’m also happy to prepare a custom presentation, if there is a specific subject or theme that is of particular interest.

If you’d like me to give a talk to your group or event, please contact me.

I was a keynote speaker at the Society for Ecological Restoration (SER) international conference that was held in Manchester, England, in 2015.

    The @OxfordUnion removed a portion of my speech for referencing booby-trapped toys left by Israelis for Lebanese children in the 80s. They claimed I was inciting to violence by stating well-documented facts. Here, it seems zionist demons are still up to their old tricks.

    โ€œIf you look at H*mas's record while it was in power, it tried diplomacy, it failed. It tried international law, it failed. It tried non-violent civil resistance..it tried everything. So under those circumstances, what was it supposed to do?....โ€
