Richard Mabey

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Richard Mabey (born 20 February 1941) is a naturalist and author. Since 1988, he has written a regular column for BBC Wildlife magazine, and is on their advisory board.

Mabey has also written on countryside and art issues for The Sunday Times, The Times, The Sunday Telegraph and the Countryman. A selection of these writings was compiled as the book Country Matters.

He also wrote and narrated the 1996 BBC television series Postcards from the Country, for whose eight, 40- minute episodes he was series producer, as well as being the producer- director on four. His books The Unofficial Countryside and The Flowering of Britain were also made into BBC TV series.

His biography of Gilbert White won the 1986 Whitbread Biography of the Year award.

In November 2007 Mabey debated the future of the English countryside with Nicholas Crane, Richard Girling, Sue Clifford and Bill Bryson as part of CPRE's annual Volunteer's Conference.

Mabey has suffered from depression and his book Nature Cure describes his experiences and recovery in the context of man's relationship with landscape and nature.
