A real survivor supports Tree For All
Over the last decade the name Ray Mears has become recognised throughout the world as being an authority on the subject Bushcraft and Survival.
He has also become a household name through his television series: Tracks, World of Survival, The Essential Guide to Rocks, Extreme Survival, Trips Money Can't Buy with Ewan McGregor, and The Real Heroes of Telemark.
These programmes have reached out and touched the hearts of everyone from small child to grandparents. They are enjoyed by many because of Ray's down to earth approach, his obvious love for his subject and the empathy and respect he shows for indigenous peoples and their cultures.
Ray grew up in Southern England on the North Downs, where he discovered a countryside abundant with wildlife. Developing a unique attunement to his local environment, he learned to track foxes into the forest, never realising that he was embarking on a journey that would become his life's mission.
So it's a great honour to have him supporting the Woodland Trust's Tree For All campaign. He says: "Woodland reminds us of the changing seasons, the rhythm of nature. Tree For All is inspirational in that it will encourage children to get out in the fresh air and plant trees, trees that will grow tall and provide homes for animals insects and birds. We need a new generation to grow up and love nature, to care about its future and act on its behalf. Support Tree For All and plant a tree."
