Join us for
an evening with
Professor Ian
Rotherham
Illustrated lecture on:
Jumping the
Garden Fence -
Aliens and
the Gardener
Ian is well known as the voice of the BBC Radio ‘Sheffield Walk on the Wildside’, his
weekly Saturday column in the Sheffield Star – ‘On The Wild Side’, and for his regular
features in the Yorkshire Post. He is also a world authority on the topic of exotic and alien
plants and animals and their impacts as invaders, and particularly on the relationship between
gardeners and aliens. He has written many papers and articles on these topics and his major
book on the issues of perceptions and management of alien species has recently been
published by Earthscan.
The talk will be accessible to all, so don’t be put off by the science, and it will be entertaining
AND controversial.
