Acerca del autor
Carol Wilson was born and brought up in North Yorkshire. After teacher training at Alnwick she moved to Norfolk where she taught and raised her family. Her own children’s interest in the natural world led her to join the Norfolk Wildlife Trust in order to learn more about the British flora. Thus began a lifelong love of wildflowers.
Returning to the north to take up the headship of a village primary school, she ran a botany club for the older children. On retirement she continued to study botany and subsequently wrote a flora of the moorland parish where she lives. During the pandemic she taught herself to identify local deciduous trees by their winter twigs. She continues to run classes for beginner botanists of all ages as well as leading Zoom sessions on plant identification and is involved in two wildflower recovery projects.
