David Winnard

Dave is one of the most respected foragers and naturalists in the North of England and Wales, having worked with and for organisations including the BBC, RSPB, Lancashire Wildlife Trust, City of Trees, Groundwork, Brockholes as well as many local councils, groups and organisations.

He created Discover the Wild, where his aim is to share his passion for identifying species and to help people forage safely and sustainably for wild foods.

You’ll often find Dave working with us at The Walled Garden School, all year round, running expert-led expeditions across Hawarden Estate discovering fungi, identifying trees and spotted all sorts of fauna.

Dave will join us at each Summer Camp weekend in 2025!
