What's Your Relationship?
A fair enough question, we think, considering the subject matter of this particular website.How do
you view the natural world, whether it be in some exotic location or, and more excitingly, we think, in your own backyard,
literally. The first section of this website is entitled The Wild Side of Town, your backyard as it were, believe us when
we say, that there is a myriad of wildlife in the towns and cities, particularly where, land has been reclaimed, and country
parks have been created. Actually in Birmingham there is what is probably the wildest of all the country parks, and that is
Sutton Park, you see it always was a country park, with very little of the formal layout you tend to see in most parks.
Oh it has its pre-requisite golf course etc, BUT the wildlife always comes first (there's even a Roman road running through the park, but that's another story)
This royal throne of kings, this scepter'd isle,
This earth of majesty, this seat
of Mars,
This other Eden, demi-paradise,
This fortress built by Nature for herself
Against infection and the hand
of war,
This happy breed of men, this little world,
This precious stone set in the silver sea,
Which serves it in
the office of a wall,
Or as a moat defensive to a house,
Against the envy of less happier lands,
This blessed plot,
this earth, this realm,
 this England.
- Richard II. William Shakespeare
This site is very much a work in progress, please bear with us as we'll be continuing to add
new material every day
"Knowing that Nature never did betray
The heart that loved her; 'tis her privilege,
Through
all the years of this our life, to lead
From joy to joy: for she can so inform
The mind that is within us, so impress
With
quietness and beauty, and so feed
With lofty thoughts, that neither evil tongues,
Rash judgments, nor the sneers of
selfish men,
Nor greetings where no kindness is, nor all
The dreary intercourse of daily life,
Shall e'er prevail
against us, or disturb
Our cheerful faith, that all which we behold
Is full of blessings."
- Lines Composed a Few Miles Above Tintern
Abbey
William Wordsworth, (1770-1850)

We've added some animated video on the Tomorrow's Too Late page, courtesey of, Aardman Animations. We believe in the power of public service announcements, to educate and assist in helping people make
the right decisions on the important issues
