Anna Shepard

Anna is a well-known writer on green living, responsible travel and the environment, contributing to many national newspapers and magazines, including The Times, The Guardian, The Telegraph, Prospect magazine, Red magazine, Elle magazine and The Ecologist.

She wrote the Eco Worrier column for the Saturday Times for four years and was a judge for The Times’ Green Spaces Awards. Her book, Anna's book, How Green Are My Wellies - Small Steps And Giant Leaps To Green Living With Style, published by Transworld in 2008, was shortlisted for a Clarion Award. She also appears on radio and TV, including BBC News 24, Countryfile, Radio 5 Live and BBC Radio Wales.

Anna has recently been on a snowshoeing holiday in the Pyrenees and travelled by train to Marrakech. Now that there is a new addition to her family – her son Owen – she says she is "honing the art of the perfect family-friendly UK-based holiday that neither damages the planet nor breaks the bank. If a babysitter is thrown into the equation, all the better."
