** SUCCESSFUL from the Woodland Books of the entire year Award **

Inside a stressful, chaotic world, many of us are embracing nature for a sense of serenity and happiness.

While the notion of the wild outdoors is enticing, though, our busy lives and our location can cause us to be detached from nature. Down to the River and Up to the Trees will show you how to connect to the natural globe around you, whether you live in the town or the countryside.

From learning the local wildlife, to foraging and creating naturally-sourced masterpieces, Down to the River is filled with practical information, intriguing quotes and inspirational ideas. Learn how to carve your very own spoon; to be able to tell if the moon is certainly waxing or waning; or try forest bathing (encircling yourself with trees and shrubs). Learn how to create yourself at home amongst the pets and plants on your doorstep, in tranquility with your surroundings. There is certainly space too for you yourself to record your ideas and results, whatever shape they take.
