My Nature writing – New Networks for Nature 2018
Nature writing is something that is really important to me. I have been writing creative work and poetry from a young age and used poetry therapy to help me through difficult times.
In 2018 I wrote a piece of nature writing for a publication celebrating the 10th Annual New Networks for Nature Conference 15-17 November 2018. I am really proud to have been published at such a young age.
The book is available at www.newnetworkdsfornature.org.uk
New Networks for Nature is a broad alliance of creators (including poets, authors, scientists, filmmakers, visual artists, environmentalists, musicians and composers) whose work draws strongly on the natural environment. I really enjoyed speaking on a panel at the 2017 conference about diversity.

At age 11 I started the popular blog Birdgirl, and at age 17 I became the youngest person to see half of the birds in the world.
Lyrical, poignant and insightful.’ - Margaret Atwood
This is my story; a journey defined by my love for these extraordinary creatures. Because large or small, brown, patterned or jewelled, there is something about birds that makes us, even for just moments at a time, lift our eyes away from our lives and up to the skies.
