About the Speaker

Bob Shatwell’s love for wildlife began in his teens, rescuing a curlew with a broken wing. After serving 13 years in The Royal Horse Guards and a career with the Surrey Constabulary, Bob focused his energy on tackling wildlife crime - most notably helping to dismantle a badger-baiting syndicate in Essex. Today, Bob devotes up to four days a week to badger conservation and works tirelessly to protect their habitats.

This event is your chance to connect with nature, deepen your understanding of badgers, and become part of the solution to safeguarding their future.
