Planting seeds of wild literacy

Nature Connection

Our ancestors have been around for millions of years, and spent about 99% of that time in ‘wild’ nature. Deep down, our nervous systems still recognize the songs of birds, scents of trees and soft ground underfoot as home.

Wild literacy

Wild literacy happens when we get to know a place and become a part of it. Getting to know and notice your local plants and animals leads to a feeling of ease, and opens up connections that over time become not unlike dear friends.
