ABOUT US

---

A teacher with a degree in Biological Imaging and a passion for the natural world, Colin is continually developing resources, perfect for curious young minds who love wildlife!  

The aim of Living World  is to celebrate and educate the diversity of life on Earth. With our world and its wildlife in such a precarious state, it is more vital than ever for children to understand and value nature.  

A self-confessed shark obsessive, he has published his first 48 page, non-fiction book The Living World of Sharks which has since been translated to French for the benefit of Shark Citizen. 

Living World Education have established collaborations with the UK based CIC Wildlife Garden Project, The national wildlife charity, The Mammal Society (he produces visual materials for their members magazine as well as resources for outreach events), and the above-mentioned Shark Citizen, a French-based research and education organization working on Reunion in the Pacific Ocean. Resources have also been created for the Bahamas-based Sharks4Kids, the educational program ran by the brilliant Jillian Morris. Colin has recently linked up with Welsh beach cleaning groups, supporting them with materials to encourage young people to participate and gain awareness of coastal wildlife. This year, Colin produced an educational activity pack for the Derbyshire Wildlife Trust Peregrine Project.   

Other exciting projects are keeping him busy, and he continues to welcome enquires for collaborations.  

As a teacher trained in Secondary Science and A Level Biology, Colin quickly found a passion for Special Education where he has worked as a teacher and leader in both Primary and Secondary schools.

Colin lives in the county of Derbyshire, England with his wife, two children and an untrainable, supercharged spaniel, Hogan. In quiet moments he is watching the birds, badger and pondlife in his garden. He'd love to hear how you are using the resources or what you would like to see!
