Rachel Lister Jones Author

Rachel Lister Jones lives in Easingwold in her home county of North Yorkshire. She has been fascinated in nature since she was very young – her first word was ‘bird’. She is particularly interested in ornithology and botany. In addition to being a writer and a poet, she also works for a local charity as well as running her own company (@wildwalksyorks), taking people on mindful nature walks and running children’s nature-based craft activities. Rachel has been writing since she was very young, writing fiction for children and adults, as well as poetry.  Many of her poems are inspired by her love of nature. This is her first non-fiction book and she has enjoyed writing it so much she is already working on the next one. In her spare time she volunteers with the Woodland Trust and her local environmental group, and also enjoys taking her beloved whippet, Lady Millicent, for walks in the Howardian Hills.
