A POPULAR pop up shop in Maldon's Promenade Park is set to host a book launch tomorrow.
Maldon's own John Buchanan will launch his new book, Wildlife of Maldon, at Maldon Books' hut in the park.
He has lived in the historic town for twenty years and has spent his spare time exploring its natural history.
The launch kicks off at 10am tomorrow (Saturday, September 18).
John Buchanan set out to answer the question; just how much wildlife can be found on our doorstep?
From his journey to discover Maldon's flora and fauna, came new book Wildlife of Maldon.
Featuring butterflies, seals, birds, and more, John celebrates and details all the resident wildlife.
Chapters include when, where, and how readers can see the best the area has to offer.
There are also suggestions for steps residents can take to protect and preserve the wildlife.
Its also fully illustrated with photographs taken in the area.
John has been a life-long birdwatcher and more recently a general naturalist too.
He particularly focuses on how best wildlife can continue to thrive with increasing human populations and climate change.
Visit the Book Hut in Promenade Park tomorrow for the exciting new launch.
After its release the book can be found at Maldon Books in the High Street or online.
