Seeking the 2020 Rainbow – A Celebration.
It started with a theme asking writers to explore their experiences of this strange year and to consider how the burgeoning of nature may have helped.
And what a wonderful response we had. There has been so much honesty, resilience, humour, love and joy, so many unique perspectives and reflections. The idea of our interconnection with nature shone through, as did the desire for positive change to help us, our neighbours, and our planet. We truly couldn’t have asked for more. Thank you!
Pens of the Earth is run by volunteers, and we have many people to thank:
- Our comms team: Annie Kirby, who set up and scheduled our social media; Christine Lawrence, whose online presence is a joy to witness; Beth Lewingdon, Richard and Helen, who have all helped to prepare the content.
- Our ‘inspiration’ contributors: all the creative writers and tutors who contributed prompts or involved their writing groups; all those amazing environmental campaigners, organisations, tree planters, protectors and wild nurturers who are working tirelessly to make life greener, happier and healthier.
- Our editors: for their perceptive and thoughtful editing: Margaret Jennings, Wendy Metcalfe, Sue Shipp, Richard and Helen Salsbury.
- Star & Crescent: Paris Ali-Pilling and Sarah Cheverton, who were generous with their time and website space, helping us to get to a wider audience.
We will be hibernating for the winter, drawing strength for new growth in 2021. However there’s plenty on our website to keep you occupied. Check out our previous publications, or get involved with some of the inspirational environmental groups who have so inspired us.
