@withmeaning.netCan't get outside today?
Let me bring nature to you, with this immersive walk across a Celtic landscape...
@kaceycarpenter.bsky.social🌿 Teaching Thursday
I love teaching Nature-Inspired Writing at PCC.
Last night, we shared stories from the Learning Garden and explored how a dog, an ant, or a tree might see the world.
Time outdoors helps me slow down and pay attention. I love hearing what my students notice.
@farsouthhistory.bsky.socialCheck out Zachary Weston's review of Douglas W. Smith's "Wolf: The Illustrated Biography," published in 2026 by @princetonupress.bsky.social; review now available @hnetreviews.bsky.social #envhist #envhum #animalstudies #naturewriting #STS 🐺

@jenratcliffe.bsky.socialDid you know mushrooms 'talk' to one another? Some can recognise up to 50 'words' - though they use pulses rather than tongues.
Today's Creative writing prompt on Substack is: if you could talk to your local mushrooms, what would you tell them? 🍄
@annachorlton.bsky.socialWalking through the misty moors this morning, the hurlers stone circles and the Cheesewring were lost in the mists I didn’t hear the hurlers shout but I did hear a little wren singing on the fence to the mineshaft. #naturewriting
@persiflage.bsky.socialEvery morning at this early hour
(only a little after four thirty am),
I see Fox trotting down the street,
going about their lawful occasions,
while I am watching from my window,
always thrilled by a sight that's sweet.
@amandatuke.bsky.socialLooking forward to a trip down to Dorset this coming weekend. Do please join us if you can. #urbannature #naturewriting
@germainehypher.bsky.socialSymptoms have been flaring for a week so I’m reminded to hold this gift made by @annakwood.bsky.social, who’s ill herself. Check out: Anna Wood - A Life in Nature on substack.

@jenratcliffe.bsky.socialToday is the second installment of Boater's Country Diary and I'm delighted that corporate turned Soulfarer Alexandre has supplied us with a tale of foraging off the Scottish coast

@persiflage.bsky.socialHere comes Mr Fox
casually trotting
down the street,
unfazed by the human
gazing admiringly
from their window;
a quick glance
into my eyes,
a brief flick of the tail
before you pass
out of my sight.
@hootperch.bsky.socialWe’re a reading app, so naturally we love a shelf about reading... water. And land. And ancient paths.
How to Read Water, @NaturalNav
England: A Natural History, @JLewisStempel
The Old Ways, Robert Macfarlane
3 books that teach you to read the world itself.

@tomuseandamuse.bsky.socialIt is the first day of Navratri, the best time to revisit this piece.
I wrote about how attachment is also an important aspect of life and is often overlooked while the world constantly talks about detachment/surrender.

@jenratcliffe.bsky.socialYesterday was World Mental Health Day, which was the theme of the #DailyNature creative prompt.
I'm sorry for the delay, but I was wrestling with my internet like mad and wanted to go explore the forest.
So, here it is anyway -
How is everyone?
@tomuseandamuse.bsky.socialA combination of cozy and horror is my favorite.
Do give it a read

@bjking.bsky.socialFor all of us who think about animals, meat, death, life: amazing writing by my @panworks.bsky.social colleague and friend Monica Ogra. #animals #animalrights #ecology #plantbased #naturewriting
@aldencarrow.bsky.socialResearch rabbit hole this week: Malham Cove's limestone pavement was in a Harry Potter film, and peregrine falcons have nested on the cliff since 1993. Neither fact made the poem. Both nearly broke my schedule.
