A collection of fifty-two vibrant essays to inform, stimulate and inspire every nature lover.
Through unparalleled expertise as a field naturalist, Roy Dennis is able to write about the natural world in a way that considers both the problems and 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.

Description
Written by one of our most prominent advocates for rewilding, this collection of fifty-two essays have a clear message: “Never give up on trying to conserve and restore wildlife and wild places you cherish. It is essential to try and to succeed. And remember, it’s never ‘if’, but ‘when’ – and with climate chaos closing in, the time is now.”
“Roy is not just a brilliant conservationist but a superb naturalist too. These beautiful essays are also positive and pragmatic about the future…absolutely joyous.” Chris Packham
“A cracking book full of beautifully descriptive prose and thought-provoking sentiments by a man who, more than anyone else, has been there , done that and got the T-shirt.” Iolo Williams
“This book reminds me strongly of Aldo Leopold’s A Sand County Almanac which is a classic of the ecological literature, and I can think of no better comparison to give you an idea of its content and of this book’s quality and worth.” Mark Avery
