Martin Rapley
Wildlife and Science Presenter
Fellow
of The Royal Entomological Society
Martin was Education Officer for Essex Wildlife Trust
where he developed an exciting programme of environmental education activity days for schools. This programme was initially
developed for school visits to Fingringhoe Wick, a coastal nature reserve and visitor centre near Colchester in Essex,
but was soon taken up by staff at centres throughout the county.
Martin also created Wildlife Discovery Days. These were wild, exciting,
fun days for children during school holidays and weekends. He ran an extensive programme
covering all school holidays and most weekends.
The activity days for schools and Wildlife Discovery Days were a great success and Martin taught over
5000 children each year on school visits and another 1800 children during school holidays and weekends.
After fifteen years in this post Martin decided that it was time to move on and in May 2003
he left to launch his own business presenting science shows in schools and events. He has now developed a range
of science shows which he presents to around 50,000 children in schools and another 30,000 children and adults at events each
year.
