I’m Bronwen, a rewilder, geographer and mountaineer with a love of all things outdoors. In this blog I’ll be exploring and celebrating different aspects of the natural world, from wildlife encounters in my local patch through to big adventures in the Scottish Highlands and beyond. Particular areas of interest include:
- Current issues in nature conservation and rewilding
- The benefits of nature for mental health
- Tales and anecdotes from adventures in wild places
I’m looking forward to sharing writing and images about the amazing natural world around us, which everyone can connect with, no matter who we are or where we are.
