Music, Campaigns & More
Doug Kennedy’s creative journey extends beyond books and photography. This page brings together the many threads that influence his work — from environmental advocacy to folk music and cultural exploration.
If you’re curious about the man behind the camera and the words, here’s where you’ll find the rest of the story.
Environmental Campaigns
Doug is deeply involved in efforts to restore the River Thame and protect England’s rare chalk streams. Through public speaking, writing, and community organising, he raises awareness of:
- Water pollution & biodiversity loss
- Infrastructure challenges facing rivers
- Grassroots restoration projects
He has worked with groups such as the River Thame Conservation Trust and the Chiltern Society’s Chalk Rivers Action Group.
Campaigning for Rivers
My environmental work focuses on protecting and restoring English chalk streams, with particular attention to the River Thame. Through lectures, photography and advocacy, I aim to raise awareness of these rare and threatened ecosystems.
I invite you to join me in supporting these vital lifelines. Together, through community action, storytelling and education, we can help restore what has been lost and safeguard these rivers for the future.

Music & Performance
Doug’s musical roots run deep. In the 1980s, he published folk and classical guitar music, and he still performs regularly with his duo partner, Jamie Strachan.
Highlights include:
- Community-first atmosphere and musical camaraderie
- Monthly Jamie & Doug Folk Nights in Cuddington
- Original compositions, traditional songs, and poetic storytelling
Adventures & Travel Writing
Doug’s travels — mostly by foot and public transport — have taken him across Europe. His journeys inspire much of his photography and blog content. Destinations explored include:
- The Basque Country
- Julian Alps of Slovenia
- Transylvania
- Southern France & Ireland
His travel writing captures the interplay of culture, nature, and personal reflection.
