Stuart Mabbutt

Stuart 'The Wildman' Mabbutt has been a professional wildlife gardener for 30 years. He writes widely in magazines on the subject and recently published his first four books and is busy writing the next four.

He leads nature workshops for business people and individuals to show how engaging with nature using the 5 senses can help manage stress and pain as well as be a good team building tool. He also carries out nature sensory engagement activities with families and children to develop lifelong learning, resilience and a positive attitude to life.

Stuart's media work includes being a wildlife sound recordist and making the independent wildlife radio show, Going Wild With Wildlife which transmits 30 times a week on 11 differing stations across Britain. He is also working on ‘The Peoples Countryside’ project giving nature a voice though podcasts, radio, audio, photography, film and on the stage.

An extension of his work and interests include developing some academic research with Oxford University into the benefits of nature on the human body. He also has an ambition to perform on the main stage at the O2 Arena in London and is developing a stage show plus an experiential modern art/performance concept to start the ball rolling in getting him there.
