Based on Many True Stories…
Even the following extensive list cannot do justice to all the good people who are dedicated to helping the natural world in their different ways. We apologise in advance for any we have missed out – it was not intentional!
Most of the titles, websites and blogs listed here have been of great value in helping us to make the claim that our map and guide are based on ‘many true stories’. Thank you, keep up the good work and please make indignant contact if we have got anything wrong (or if you find the deliberate mistakes).
