A Little About Us
Ash - Founder Of Bruno's Eco Services
I was always that kid that loved walking around the nature reserve at the back of our school. The kid that was fascinated by seeing a few red clovers growing on the rugby pitch. Walking up country lanes with my mam and seeing bees buzzing around the honey suckle growing amongst the hedgerows. I feel like as children we all loved going picking blackberries so we could have filling for a pie or lifting rocks to try and find little newts or creepy crawlys, but somewhere along the line, we have removed ourselves from nature. Being in and around nature has always been my happy place and for the majority of my adult life I had also disconnected myself from that wonderful environment. I've worked as a carpenter, a builder, in flood defence, as a refrigeration engineer and even on a cattle station in the outback of Australia. There in the barren nothingness of the Queensland outback is where I first truly noticed the importance for myself that I needed a connection with nature and being away from it had a massive impact on my wellbeing. When I left the outback and got to see my first forest in months, the first combinations of wild native flowers together and a host of birds rather than just seeing cattle and snakes all day made me smile uncontrollably. I knew from that moment I wanted to change what I was doing and also help others have a far better connection with nature, help our environments be complex sites for biodiversity and help with everyone's wellbeing by mixing all this together whether that be in the smallest of gardens or with full scale ecological restoration projects over acres of land.
Our wellbeing and the wildlife around us need as much help as possible. It really doesn't matter how big or small your outside space is, there is always something positive we can do to help encourage and support biodiversity and create a habitat full of life and love that everyone and everything can enjoy. We can and will make a difference.
You may say I'm a dreamer, but I'm not the only one...
