In partnership with the Burrenbeo Trust, this beautifully crafted book brings together ten inspiring profiles of participants in Burrenbeo projects, written by Pocket Forests co-founder Catherine Cleary. These real-life stories – from farmers and families to schools and community groups – shine a light on the small yet profound changes that are restoring habitats and reviving species across both rural and urban landscapes.

Woven through the book are evocative poems by acclaimed poet Jane Clarke, enchanting illustrations by Jane Carkill and striking photography. Each page invites readers to reconnect with the wild corners of the world – and perhaps to create their own.
