Jo and Fiona 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 12 Going Wild outdoor activity books over the last 18 years. Their latest book "Make this Book Wild" has been shortlisted for children's book of the year, illustrated - The Week Junior 2023 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, written articles, and they are helping to build the Leaves for Life Campaign (@joinleavesforlife) to raise awareness of the ecological emergency.

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