Swallow Fund

20% of Swallow Fund sales will be given to the charity Rewilding Britain.
Small, unframed original works from my personal archive of memorable experiences.

Every year I celebrate (with a bottle of English sparkling) the sight of the first swallow. Being a swallow in this world is fraught with human-induced peril. Every swallow that makes it back to share our summer, against very many odds, is a miracle. For me they are a symbol for the plight and perfection of our other-than-human neighbours. Those who do make it back indicate that some connective tissue along their migration routes remains alive.

Rewilding Britain, acknowledges the inherent wisdom of Nature, and creates networks to support the sharing of knowledge and experience so Nature can rewild Herself.
