Unwilded
Learning to Notice Nature Again
Humans once lived embedded in nature. Today, many of us spend our time indoors,
screen-bound, and disconnected.
In Unwilded, Alastair Humphreys, pioneer of microadventures, explores how this
disconnection comes at a cost to our wellbeing, our childhoods, our lived
environment; and how it makes ecological crises seem like a distant force beyond
our control. Change, he argues, doesn’t start with grand gestures, but with fifteen
minutes outdoors, paying attention—where care, responsibility, and rewilding begin.PUBLISHED JULY 2026
