What a lovely book!

I believe I can understand Philippa so well, in both her scientific and spiritual interests, pursuits and ways of thinking.

I believe the writing is also wonderful and I thoroughly enjoyed reading about her stories and the stories of so many other women involved in conservation or wilderness.

This nook felt healing, empowering and I would highly recommend.

P.S: I believe we should all be tree huggers and have zero shame for it.
