A Walk in the Wild
Plants, trees and the gifts of the woodland
What does the woodland offer, and what should I leave?
A walk with someone who knows the woods: plants and trees, their relationships and gifts, with safety, restraint and gratitude alongside any use.
Walk with someone who notices: gather well, make wild tea and nettle cordage, and learn which plants help and which harm.

Coming soon. Jay is giving this book and its activity guides a final proofread before they go on sale as downloads. Ask to be told when they're ready.
Safety first. Outdoor activities carry real risks. Each activity guide has safety notes, but you are responsible for yourself and anyone in your care. Supervise children, get permission, never eat anything you cannot identify with certainty, and only light fires where it is allowed and safe.
