Matt Wilson, herpetologist teaches us how to identify the various snakes found on Corfu and how important their role to Corfu’s environment

In 2013 The Durrell School of Corfu had the honour of being joined by the godson of Theodore Stephanidis.Named after his godfather, Theo and his sister are pictured above on a typical afternoon nature walk with their mother and Gerald’s childhood mentor and life long friend Stephanidis.

Theodore Stephanidis presented a gift of his field microscope to his young Godson, as a memento to inspire a lifelong interest in nature. On the last day of the week, Theo decided to award on this precious memento to one of the young participants on the week, who is just starting his journey of discovery.

Lee Durrell talks about one of Gerald’s favourite haunts and why this island is still of such significance today.

Dr David Shimwell captivates everyone with his enthusiasm and knowledge of the plants on this spectacular walk around the headland.

A project to save the endangered Miniature Skyros Horses reflects the spirit of Gerald’s quest to save animals at risk of extinction and a popular place to visit.
