Fiona Danks

Fiona and Jo believe that reconnecting everyone with nature is vital if we are to understand our reliance on a healthy and biodiverse natural world, and ensure it is protected for the future. They believe that all children and families should regularly spend time outdoors in green spaces where nature can weave its magic upon them.

Together they have written and photographed twelve Going Wild outdoor activity books over the last eighteen years. Their latest book "Make This Book Wild" has been shortlisted as "Children's Book of the year, illustrated" in The Week Junior Book Awards.

Through their books and website, they inspire families everywhere to get outside and become immersed in the natural world. They have run events, lead training courses for teachers and environmental educators, presented at conferences as keynote speakers, and written articles.

They both live near the Chiltern Hills in Oxfordshire, where they enjoy natural history, walking and exploring the local countryside.
