Are there any genuinely wild places left in Britain and Ireland? Or have we tarmacked, farmed and built ourselves out of wildness?
In his vital, bewitching, inspiring classic, Robert Macfarlane sets out in search of the wildness that remains.

Now, here I am in the aftermath of Helene, in these ancient Carolina mountains, cleaning up the debris of both nature and of life, so of course, I turned once again to the wisdom of Mr. Macfarlane and his ability to transport me beyond my aching heart to the peace of wild places.
Perhaps it was because I was diligently working to move dozens of fallen trees to a new purpose as a hugekultur on our land, but the book resonated even more deeply with me this time and I found myself openly weeping many times. On the morning of September 27th, I watched in horror as we lost nearly 75% of the trees of our forest to the forces of wind and rain, unexpected and unfathomable in these sacred mountains. We are fortunate to have only experienced a temporary flooding of our creek, while others lost homes and lives and businesses to the rage of rivers flowing beyond their banks and trees and land sliding down on top of them.
The Wild Places offered me hope, knowing that, indeed, nature will renew herself. We are so very aware of her power and strength here now more than ever, but also of her resilience, much like these people in these tiny mountain towns. Trees will grow, we will rebuild, and the wild places will flourish once again.
Read this book. Be transported. Love and tend our wild places. Please.
