Wildlife chief’s wild Hauxley book launch
Mike Pratt, Northumberland Wildlife Trust’s Chief Executive will be launching his eighth book, Infinite Wonder: Loving Nature Back To Health, next week (Wednesday 12th April) at the wildlife charity’s Hauxley Wildlife Discovery Centre at Druridge Bay.
The launch event is in two parts with Mike reading passages from the book and hosting a question and answer session between 1:30pm and 2:30pm followed by a walk around the Hauxley reserve, taking in the sights, sounds and smells along the way, between 3:00pm and 4:00pm.

The book comes as a result of Mike’s 40+ years working closely with nature and the environment and started in 2019, almost a year before the pandemic.
An antidote to anxiety, the book explores the healing power of nature and the importance of green prescribing as an alternative to the more traditional medical prescribing - so where better place to launch it than at the Hauxley reserve at Druridge Bay which is a haven of peace and tranquillity and home to 40 or 50 different species of birds at this time of year.
Author Mike Pratt says:
“It took me all of five seconds to choose Hauxley as the venue for my latest book launch. It’s such a wonderful place to visit to recharge the batteries the natural way which is what the book is all about.
“I’m looking forward to meeting nature lovers of all ages and sharing our nature stories as well as walking round the reserve to see what’s starting to come to life after what seems to have been a very long winter.”
