Anita Roy

(United Kingdom)
I am a writer, editor and environmentalist based in Wellington, Somerset. I am half English, half Bengali and spent 20 years in Delhi working in publishing before returning to the UK in 2015 with my son. Recent publications include: 'Gifts of Gravity and Light: A Nature Almanac for the 21st Century' co-edited with Pippa Marland (Hodder), 'A Year in Kingcombe: The Wildflower Meadows of Dorset' (Wilding Press); and children's books - 'Gravepyres School for the Recently Deceased' (Westland) and 'The Power of Ten' (Pratham Books). I am an organiser and volunteer with my fantastic local Transition Town group in Wellington, working mostly - at the moment - on establishing a new community forest garden, and a green corridor project in our town. I also work part time as a cloud-maker - yes, really - for a natural acoustic sound cloud manufacturer, The Woolly Shepherd.

conspectus

A place to gaze. Conspectuses are viewpoints where the terrain opens itself naturally to the viewer, where the eye can thread in and out of the circle of hills, and names suggest a narrative sequence offering the possibility of beginning to know where you are. Traditional conspectus include suidhe (Gaelic, seat), used to view hunting.
