John Miller is a passionate countryman, naturalist, and lifelong observer of the British countryside. Raised in a small Oxfordshire village, his deep love for nature began in childhood, where he was left to roam, a fairly feral child, where the fields were his playroom.
John’s varied career has taken him across the globe, but his connection to the land and its seasonal rhythms remains the heart of his life and writing.
A premium writer on Scribehound, Board Member of the Atlantic Salmon Trust, and the Curlew Action charities, John is committed to conservation and sustainability. He is actively trying to push forward the agenda of the introduction of the new GCSE for natural history onto the syllabus, showcasing his dedication to education and environmental advocacy.
Through his writing, John encourages readers to open their eyes, be curious, and enrich their lives by reconnecting with nature. His work combines personal reflection with practical insights, aiming to inspire a greater awareness of the natural world and its importance in our lives. His enthusiasm for field sports, gardening, and sustainable living shines through in his stories, inviting others to explore the beauty and intricacies of nature.
In What’s in a Year..., John blends personal anecdotes, topical lifestyle issues, and the current affairs of the natural world. His love letter to the countryside offers not only a seasonal journey but also lessons in curiosity and conservation, encouraging readers to ask the right questions when it comes to conservation and, where applicable, make small changes that can have a big impact on the environment.
