Clare Nasir interviewing Tom Watson

Tom Watson Talks to our Patron, Clare Nasir

In this second short interview (12 minutes) for Trees Are The Key Week, our Patron Clare Nasir, well known to many as a meteorologist and presenter, talks to Tom Watson about the extraordinary  journey of transformation he has taken over the last five years.

He reflects on the full on, unrelenting pressure of front-line politics and how his life and health have altered radically now, not least because he rediscovered the value of being out in nature and particularly amongst trees. He is still busy, working for change in a different way, and the discussion touches on sustainability, an inspirational book, the importance of work/life balance, shinrin yoku and the joy of growing your own courgettes! Note: you may feel a burning need to go out and plant some seeds after you’ve watched this!

Thank you very much Clare and Tom!
