adventurous challenging emotional funny hopeful informative inspiring reflective tense medium-paced

Andrew Painting moved to Scotland to volunteer with the RSPB and since 2016 has been Assistant Ecologist at Mar Lodge Estate at the heart of the Cairngorm mountains. 
This book details the trials and tribulations to regenerate the land and help the wildlife, flora and fauna. Climate change, and human influences on the land through tourism, hobbies etc have all impacted it and we feel his complete frustration and despair of these changes but then we see the joy from the outcome of his hard work regenerating.
Such a inspirational read, it certainly makes you grateful that such passionate people as Andrew are here and in the right positions.
