"Over the millenia, we've destroyed our rainforests, so that now only tiny fragments and relics remain. We're so unfamiliar with these enchanting places, we've forgotten they exist."
Guy Shrubsole
This is such good news from the Devon Wildlife Trust

So. This book is AMAZING. Well the first half is. I‘ll let you know about the second half when I reach the front of the queue again - I‘m currently number 28 ☹️.
In the meantime I‘ll gush. I‘ve learnt a heap about my local area that I never knew, plus a bunch of history, biology, ecology, mythology - it‘s FASCINATING. He has a ‘holistic‘ style along the lines of Rob Macfarlane (but less annoying. Sorry Rob). And I want to get out and EXPLORE.
1️⃣ The clear skies, you're able to see the stars better. 🌌🌠
2️⃣ All I want for Christmas is that

However this book landed in my Libby queue, (did you mention it before @AllDebooks ? @Mitch ?) I‘m loving it! As someone who has always lived in the wetter edges of the UK, I knew of temperate rainforests, but hadn‘t appreciated how special or at risk they were.
New plan for 2023 - get out and visit more of our BEAUTIFUL countryside!
My Libby hold came in. Obviously I‘ve been reserving books in my sleep again. I mean it looks fab, but I have NO recollection of reserving it 🤷🏻♀️🌳🍃🌴🍃🌳🍃🎄
