So what do you get a Wildlife Enthusiast for Christmas?

I don’t know about you but without the help of a full Christmas wish list from my loved ones I am hopeless at getting the right present. So are you also wondering what to get that wildlife enthusiast in your life that already has everything?

Then consider our 30 Wild Books list that we thoroughly enjoyed reviewing with 30 groups and individuals during 30 Days Wild in June 2017. (See Facebook 2017 for the reviews!) There are suggestions for all ages, some classics and some hot off the press (Well they were last year!) – how many have you read? Perhaps you should treat yourself too! I may have added a few to my own wish list after a reminder of how many/ few I have read!

As Nottingham screenwriter and author William Ivory said about 30 Wild Books,

“I think [its] is a great idea. Good writing always has the ability to inspire people and good nature writing can help celebrate the wonders of the natural world and affect positive change.”

Hear, hear! So, now’s your chance to help make that positive change!
