The Steward Community Woodland is a low-impact community of eleven adults and seven children living in a 32 acre woodland on the edge of Dartmoor National Park. 'Wild Wood' follows my journey in becoming a member of this community. The project began as an organic, self-reflective documentation and has evolved into a narrative looking at the way as humans we connect with nature. My objective is to promote this way of life and to continue recording my experiences. This is a long term project and will continue into the foreseeable future as I build my home there.
