Steel river : walking the Tees : a journey through nature in a human world
Nicholls, Steve2025
Books
Steve Nicholls makes an epic journey along the River Tees in north-east England, from the industrial complexes near its estuary to its source high in the Pennine Hills. The Tees estuary was where Steve's life-long passion for nature was born, launching a long career as a documentary maker. As he travels the length of the eighty-mile river, he uses his years of travelling the world and his work on nature films to place the fauna and flora he encounters along the Tees in a wider context. He skilfully weaves together strands of personal experience, nature writing, botany, geology and local - and wider - history with an account of the depredations wrought by human industry and agriculture on the valley and waters of the Tees.
