Description

A collection of vibrant essays to inform, stimulate and inspire every nature lover.

Through unparallelled expertise as a field naturalist, Roy Dennis is able to write about the natural world – in a way that considers both the problems and the progress in ecology and conservation. Beginning with cottongrass, whose snow-white blooms blow gently in the wind across the wetter moors and bogs, this is a year-round trove of insight and knowledge for anyone who cares about the natural-world from birdsong and biodiversity to sphagnum and species reintroduction.

Written by one of our most prominent advocates for rewilding, the essays have a clear message: ‘Never give up on trying to conserve and restore wildlife and the wild places you cherish. It’s essential to try and to succeed. And remember, it’s never if , but ‘when’ – and with climate chaos closing in, the time is now.’
