MORE ABOUT YOUR GUIDE, TOM FORWARD...

Tom Forward was born on the edge of the Ashdown Forest and his childhood was spent exploring the area. His love for the Forest bloomed into a lifelong desire to protect wildlife and a career as an ecologist and wildlife guide.

With 20 years of experience in the field and a degree in Environmental Management, Tom has a wealth of knowledge and enthusiasm to share with others.

Currently, Tom lives on the Ashdown Forest and works as a freelance ecologist and wildlife guide at locations across Sussex, Surrey and Kent, including the Knepp Estate (renowned rewilding project), Royal Botanical Gardens Kew Wakehurst and Tablehurst Community Farm. He co-produces the new Ashdown Forest Podcast.

"Ashdown Forest hosts some remarkable species and there is always something to see from special plants and insects, to secretive reptiles and rare birds, or simply the spectacular sweeping views over the High Weald and beyond. There's nothing I enjoy more than tuning visitors' eyes and ears into the landscape, leaving them with a new appreciation of the place and a memorable experience."
