'WILDSCAPING HANDBOOK'

'Wildscaping Our World Handbook'

This handbook - in a current ebook form - is based on my 24 years of experience working in human and animal welfare. The handbook especially draws from my last 7 years of experience in overall 'planetary welfare' through wildscaping & working to harmonise humans and wildlife, across the UK.

At almost 350 pages (check out pics below) that will be sent to you as an e-book, for you to easily download to Apple Books or Android files to access as an ebook on your phone/tablet/computer, the Handbook offers the Reader (to benefit ourselves & all lives around us) ideas & instructions on how to live wildly in every aspect of our lives...

- A wild & fresh mindset from which to wonder at our planet & rejoice in our existence and day to day pleasures. This mindset enables us to manifest a wild world.

- A comprehensive step-by-step 'How To Guide' on wildscaping our planet: starting with wildscaping our home interiors/exteriors & wildscaping our local communities & organisations.

(Local actions = Global impact).

WILDSCAPING OUR ORGANISATIONS

These are just some examples of the helpful questions in the handbook - and then there are loads of ideas to help you answer these questions and take action - to determine how your exterior spaces can serve both your organisation and local wildlife...

A. What does my organisation really want from this space, to benefit myself/my staff?
B. Are there any spaces that I/we can give up to other species, for them to use?
C. Is there a way to collaborate with other species in these spaces?
Eg. Can I/my organisation install Bird & Bat Bricks / Hedgehog Highways / Letting trees grow / Putting fresh water out every day & night / Letting plants self seed themselves and claim bits of territory for themselves?
D. What boundaries do I (or does my organisation) need to put in place? (Eg. I’d like to have wildlife only use the bottom of my garden/the work estate and I’d like to keep the grass short near the house/offices, for myself/staff to use).

"I found this book to be a really unique insight into how to better harmonise with everything around us. Detailed ideas big and small and very well written. Enjoyed it." Richard Lightfoot

"A straightforward, easy to read guide that does the thinking for you when you want to apply a little more ‘wild’ to your life. It’s different because it has interactive features and a glossary of useful links to guilt-free swaps in our everyday lifestyle." Emma Ryder

"The ‘WILDSCAPING OUR WORLD HANDBOOK’ blew me away with how comprehensive and diverse the content was. Upon receiving this handbook I was excited to see what it could offer in terms of how I can further reduce my impact on the planet and other plant and animal life in my area.

Being vegan, I consider myself a mindful person when it comes to reducing my impact on the planet and other plant and animal life, but what I wasn’t expecting was how thorough this handbook is at covering all areas of environmental impact - starting with how we view ourselves and the world.

This handbook should really be called a manifesto for conscious living, because that’s what it provides. Not only does it cover the intricacies of creating habitable spaces for native species both indoors and outdoors, but it also covers creating a wildscaped life, where we are living with an open heart interconnected with all other beings, including other humans.

This handbook may challenge some of your beliefs or world views, but approaching it with an open mind offers a whole new perspective on how the items we use in everyday life are impacting the planet.

Alana does not tell you what to believe, but instead reveals how our everyday choices are impacting the planet, allowing the reader to do further research and choose a lifestyle in alignment with their values and environmental impact. Upon reviewing the sources provided, I now feel much more empowered to make choices which are in alignment with my values and the world I am creating through my lifestyle.

I highly recommend this book to anyone wanting a more inclusive worldview and practical ideas to implement in daily life which will contribute to a thriving planet for all species. It’s an enthralling and educational read with easily implementable ways to live in harmony with the world around us." - Amber Corinne

"Change your life for the wilder! Starting from a few basic principles, Alana develops a coherent belief system and way of living. Part philosophy book, part how-to guide, "Wildscaping our World" is filled with interesting ideas, as well as practical things that anyone can to do help the other beings we share this world with. Whether you just take from the handbook a few ideas to think about, or use it to transform your life and the lives of those around you, you are almost certain to find something of value. So well worth a read. You never know, it might even change your life for the wilder!" - John Davis
