Sarah H
Hello, my name is Sarah and I love nature! I teach science in a high school, and try to share my appreciation of the natural world with my students in any way I can! I get out and about as much as possible in my local area, and further afield in the beautiful county of Norfolk. I hope you will enjoy sharing my love of the natural world as I see and experience it. I would love to hear of any natural spectacles and your ideas for where I could go or things I could see next!
