Hundreds of Bangor University students attended a lecture by TV star, Steve Backshall

The naturalist and explorer gave a talk on wildlife conservation at the university after performing in his sell-out theatre show, Ocean, at Venue Cymru in Llandudno. 

The BAFTA-winning TV star and best-selling author, who has made programmes such as Deadly 60 and Expedition, is an honorary lecturer at Bangor University, and was awarded an honorary degree by the university earlier this year. 

Speaking to students at the event Steve said:

You’ve all made the best decision of your lives coming to Bangor University, and I want you all to make the most of it, treasure it, use it as best as you possibly can.

 On your doorstep you have natural wonders that almost nobody else in the nation has at university so please use them to their full extent.
