I’m always on the look out for Guest Blogs on subjects that are relevant to nature conservation.
Advice to people submitting a blog to this website:
- get in touch before submitting your blog so that we can discuss it
- any blog should be of interest to readers of this blog and of an environmental bent
- word count is up to you
- only submit a blog that you are happy to see published as it is submitted – I might correct spelling, typos etc but it’s your job to get these things right and, no, you can’t keep fiddling about with it after sending it in
- submit a few sentences about yourself as well as your blog
- send a jpg image of yourself so that we can all have a look at you
And thank you to all those who have already contributed – you have stimulated some very interesting comments and debates.

Do remember to vote in the poll to pick the Westminster MP who did the best job for wildlife in 2013. Voting has already attracted over 900 votes.

Mark, why not invite the government or opposition to comment regarding what positive steps they are/will take regarding Conservation of habitats and Wildlife. The public will then be able to remind the people what they said.
Why don’t you ask Caroline Lucas – the clear winner of your poll (and my vote incidentally) – to write a guest blog?
Ed Hutchings – do you know, I had thought of that. And maybe not just her. Thanks for the suggestion.
Indeed Mark. You could ask Mr Paterson too. I’d be somewhat surprised if he agreed though. His response (or lack of it) would be of great interest.
