Pat Hart
Pat is one of the walk leaders here at Rainham Marshes. Pat shows visitors around the reserve telling them about the history, and sharing some of his fantastic wildlife knowledge too! Pat regularly takes visitors of all ages and abilities around the reserve, inspiring them about the work of the RSPB, the reserve and of course all of our fabulous wildlife. Pat has been volunteering here for just under 10 years – he started coming as a visitor to the reserve, attending the Wednesday Walks and eventually we talked him into helping out as he’s so good at talking to people!
Pat said, “I like showing people round the reserve. I love that moment when I’m showing people wildlife, or telling them about the ecology of the reserve and they get it. That ‘ohhhh’ and ‘ahhhh’ is the best reaction!”
