"We are delighted with the quality and appropriateness of our Nature Learn-produced interpretive panel on the birds of Drumcliffe estuary, so much so that we ordered a duplicate sign to erect on the opposite shore. With funding, we hope to commission yet another sign in the near future." - Drumcliffe Rathcormac Tidy Towns.

"You can depend on Michael to provide an interesting, informative and well delivered talk on nature and the environment. Adults and children always love his guided walks and benefit from his extensive knowledge of wildlife and environmental issues." - Anthony & Rosemary Kitchin, owners Newpark House
