If you've heard of Stuart Mabbut, it's likely to be through his podcast or Wildman Environmental Learning. His sensory nature workshops enable people to connect with the natural world, sometimes an unlikely beginning leads to a life revelation. And when he's not doing that, Stuart is a wildlife sound recordist and producer, an author, public speaker, radio host and a wildlife gardening consultant.
In Part 2 of our interview Stuart discusses the first time he was discriminated against because of his disabilities and what he learned from that experience. He also talks about how he networks, how he chooses his interns, and what makes a CV stand out, and his very surprising hobby.
He also talks about his campaign, The Genuine Disabled Countryside Access Task Force, which highlights the issues encountered by people with different disabilities. These include how to get a wheelchair through a kissing gate, how to read a map with vision impairments and many other barriers. His YouTube videos are enlightening and revelatory, as he invites a film crew to join him trying to access the countryside in his wheelchair.
