LET THE WILDNESS OF NATURE NOT BE TOO TAMED

This is an anonymous story collected from the public as part of THE WOKINGHAM ARC PROJECT.

I am a serial hobby-crafter, cat lady, avid reader, chocoholic, counsellor, computer geek, gamer, friend, creative, tomboy, teacher’s pet, feminist, and rebel (just a little).

Nature makes me feel alive in my local area – how close the “countryside “is to town that you can walk for 5 – 10 minutes from the town centre and be completely surrounded by open fields and beautiful Woodlands.

To me, home means comfort, peace, cats and books, the place to completely relax and just be. The place you feel the everyday stresses get put away to be picked up again only when you leave.

I wish for preservation of our natural world, finding a way to live en-masse without draining or natural resources or destroying our environment any further. Let the wildness of nature not be too tamed by tidy and sanitised green spaces amid all the new developments.
