MATTHEW OATES is the world expert on the Purple Emperor butterfly and was the National Trust’s specialist in nature for 30 years!

His ability to share knowledge and love of nature is trusted and pursued by producers of both TV and radio.

He adores Edward Thomas’ writings


He is author of several books including the critically acclaimed BEYOND SPRING: Wanderings through Nature (Fair Acre Press 2017); he wrote poetry and prose for the book Shropshire Butterflies – a poetry and art guide to the butterflies of Shropshire (Fair Acre Press 2011); and Nadia interviewed him for a MALIGNED SPECIES podcast on Stinging Nettles.
He loves woods, so Nadia can’t wait to show him, and you, the tree that features on the front cover of his book!
