I love my world

One of the perks of working for an outdoor company is that we get to meet some fairly cool people over the course of a day. While taking an order before Christmas, I got nattering to one of customers, a chap by the name of Chris Holland who runs a business called Wholeland He teaches woodcraft to lots of different folks, school’s business’s etc and I was hugely interested about what he did.

He’s recently released a book called I love my world. The description has it as “a new guidebook to rekindle the naturally playful spirit and develop a deep connection with nature from an early age. Full of bushcraft, environmental art, nature awareness and outdoor play activities, as well as mentoring tips and beautiful images, this book will make you want to pack your bags, step out into, and celebrate our wonderful world. It’s for parents, environmental educators, play rangers, forest school leaders, teachers, aunties, uncles…in fact anyone with a love of our world who spends time outdoors and enjoys sharing it with other people.”

It’s something that having kid’s I think a great deal about. I want Ifor to experience the outdoors, and get as much of a love for it as I do. From all accounts Chris has nailed a great response to the current environmental crisis by getting kid’s involved at an early age. Kudos to him.
