Michéal was born a farm in rural Ireland and has had an innate affinity with nature, local history and the environment from an early age. He has also lived in some world cities and understands the importance of urban green spaces, industrial and historical heritage.
With his Biology Degree and previous life experiences (as a travel writer, hiker and journalist etc.) Michéal has garnered a wealth of knowledge and understanding across a wide range of areas - Nature, Biodiversity, the Environment, History and Geography.
Michéal is a great believer in the power of storytelling to engage children and young adults by making it fun and participatory. He takes a more holistic view of school’s local area and likes to get pupils to appreciate their own environment and locale from a nature, geographical and overall heritage perspective. I
