Biography
Liam is a nature guide who leads foraging walks in North Dorset. Each walk is unique, responding to the plants and fungi which are in season at the time. He has a particular interest in hedgerow plants, mushrooms, herbal medicine, mindfulness and sustainability. Liam is a keen cook, baker and homebrewer and his wild-flavoured drinks and snacks are a highlight of his walks.
Liam grew up in Western Australia and spent a lot of his childhood immersed in the natural world, before moving to England in 2007 and falling in love with it's lush green landscape. Every walk in Nature was like being a kid again and he set out to learn the names of every bird, flower, insect, tree and mushroom he met along the way.
Years of learning, exploring and foraging led to him start the Instagram account Walking Pace Only, to document the changing colours and textures of the seasons and share his newly acquired knowledge. This has organically grown into leading foraging walks and becoming an obsessive mycophile.
