On Stage
Nick Acheson is a naturalist, environmentalist, author and speaker. Following his degrees, he spent ten wondrous years in Bolivia and four in India, working in nature conservation and teaching yoga. He has worked with wildlife and people on every continent and ocean. Having given up flying, he now lives in a flint cottage by a village duckpond in his native North Norfolk. Here he listens to Bach and Wagner, reads in his wild garden, and looks to the sky at passing marsh harriers, hobbies and cranes.
Nick’s first book The Meaning of Geese – for which he cycled 1,200 miles on a 42-year-old red bicycle, following Norfolk’s winter flocks of wild geese – won East Anglian Book of the Year 2023. He has two books out in 2026, one in celebration of Norfolk Wildlife Trust’s centenary and another in partnership with the Society of Wildlife Artists.
