About Wild Word Sketches

Inspired by The Wildlife Trust’s #30DaysWild initiative – which encourages people to engage with the outdoors every day in June – Liz began writing a Wild Word Sketch everyday in June 2020 to capture her fleeting encounters with nature in and around her home in Nidderdale, North Yorkshire.

She loved the experience so much she decided to extend 30 days to 365.

Quickly responding to the timbre of each moment she’s evoking, the tone and form of her word sketches range from playful to profound, and free verse to rhyming couplets.
