Welcome to Withywindle Nature – a location on the web dedicated to promoting environmental awareness and literacy. Here’s how:
Withywindle Nature Programs are hands-on, interactive programs by professional naturalist Cynthia Menard. You’ll find information about our environmental education programs, our public programs calendar, and information on how to set up a program for your school, scout, public or private group.
The Withywindle Blog is where we post nature writing and photography – observations and information on the natural world which we hope will inspiring others to get outside more, and maybe even change their perspective.
Withywindle Books is our independent online bookstore specializing in new, used and rare books on nature, science, environmental issues, fantasy and science fiction.

We need another and a wiser and perhaps a more mystical concept of animals… We patronize them for their incompleteness, for their tragic fate of having taken form so far below ourselves. And therein we err, and greatly err. For the animal shall not be measured by man. In a world older and more complete than ours they move finished and complete, gifted with extensions of the senses we have lost or never attained, living by voices we shall never hear. They are not brethren, they are not underlings; they are other nations, caught with ourselves in the net of life and time, fellow prisoners of the splendour and travail of the earth.
