Field Guide PDF
A concise, field-ready companion to The Art of Reading Nature that trains you to notice what’s actually happening in the landscape—moment by moment. Through short, grounded exercises (breath, listening, wind, moisture, trees, tracks), it helps you build practical pattern-recognition and a calm, reliable way of “reading” place without relying on apps or instruments.
Helps you:
- Sharpen sensory awareness (sound, air, light, ground)
- Recognise natural patterns and change (wind shifts, drying edges, movement cues)
- Develop a steadier presence and orientation outdoors
- Start a repeatable practice you can use anywhere you walk
