About this Event
Join us in store as wildlife presenter and author Ajay Tegala gives an illustrated talk about his work as a ranger at local reserve Wicken Fen.
Ajay Tegala is a wildlife presenter, conservationist, countryside ranger, naturalist, author and voice-over artist, with over a decade of experience working in nature conservation. He currently works at Wicken Fen, Britain's very first nature reserve, alongside 115 Konik ponies and 45 Highland cattle.
Tucked away in the flat lands of rural East Anglia lies Wicken Fen, so loved for its big skies and tiny creatures, boasting over 9,000 recorded species. For 125 years, this wildlife sanctuary has been cared for by the National Trust. A dedicated team look after this precious wetland of international importance, working with herds of free-roaming horses and cattle and weathering the elements to cope creatively with the dramas of a life outdoors at the cutting edge of conservation.
Wetland Diaries is a seasonal account of ranger life on Wicken Fen, saving a once widespread landscape and revealing the spectrum of emotions experienced in the process. Ajay shares the spirit and atmosphere of the Fens, offering an insight into the privileges and pressures of managing semi-wild animals in one of the country’s first wetland restoration projects, creating precious breathing space for nature and people alike.
