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.

Even if there were no other valid & compelling reasons for Scotland to become independent, this alone would be sufficient cause. Additional nuclear weapons being installed in Scotland without public knowledge or consent is an outrage against democracy.

The Ferret@FerretScot

In 2018 @NukewatchUK estimated three new #nuclear warheads arrived at Coulport on the Clyde. Then nine in 2019, and 13 in 2020.

From Siberia to the Amazon & Borneo, forest fires are a major cause of the biodiversity crisis, often for agriculture. "in India most of such fires are deliberately caused by people mainly for agricultural purposes" We need planet-friendly agriculture! https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-asia-india-56671148

This is an excellent article about @royhdennis in the Guardian today. I've known Roy for many years & he's one of those rare people who just gets on & does inspiring, positive work for nature, not letting bureaucracies & mainstream inertia stop him. https://www.theguardian.com/environment/2021/apr/16/conservation-legend-roy-dennis-were-facing-an-ecological-crisis-but-its-exciting-too
