A NEW book featuring more than a year’s worth of nature walks is to be published next week.
Wildlife Walks covers the length and breadth of the country, giving people the opportunity to discover The Wildlife Trust’s numerous nature reserves and get to explore some hidden parts of the country.
In all, there are 475 walks to try out, covering forests, heaths, moors and woodlands, as well as scenic coastal locations.
Orgnised by region, there is everything you could possibly need to know including how to get to the site, what to expect when you get there, facilities available, and the walking time that the route will take.
And to help people get to grips with nature, it is packed with pictures showing species of special interest and other sights to look out for.
The book is by Charlotte Varela, a nature writer and naturalist.
She says she aims to be an ally for wildlife and a proactive voice in the world of conservation.
Through her work, she hopes to inspire others to discover and care for the incredible natural heritage on our doorsteps, promoting novel ways to engage with our local landscapes throughout the year.
Her writing can be found in several publications including Wildlife Watch magazine, BBC Wildlife magazine and Bumble magazine.
The book has already received praise.
Rhiane Fatinikun, founder of Black Girls Hike, said: “I love this A–Z of our 5 star UK nature spots, it’s given me so much to explore. If you’re a lover of discovery and the outdoors, then keep this close.”
The book, Wildlife Walks, is published by Bloomsbury on Thursday, August 18. It costs £16.99, and its ISBN is 9781472986863. An ebook is also available, IBSN: 9781472986856
