What does The Coastal Custodian do?
I thought I’d tell you a little bit about some of the things I get involved with as The ‘Coastal Custodian’ Northumberland.
If you follow my Facebook and Instagram accounts you will see from those pages , that I am a huge supporter of Northumberland’s local businesses and creatives promoting #shoplocal and #supportsmallbusinesses whilst showcasing our beautiful area through my photography, videos and live streams. However in addition to this there are lots of other things environmentally that I am involved with such as:
Reporting problems to and assisting ranger and wildlife services such as British Divers Marine Rescue, Coast Care, Northumberland Wildlife Trust, Space for Shorebirds, RNLI, Northumberland AONB and the HM Coastguard. To find out more about these organisations check these out:
