Hand in Hand with the Forest. Life in the Rhythm of Nature, Amber Honey and the Village Porch

Changing the rhythm of the metropolis for the singing of birds, the scent of conifers, and the taste of real honey — a dream that Valeria Skripko, a ceramist, beekeeper, and «girl living in the forest», has realized. In her story, there is no place for fuss: only care for the hive, skiing walks through the winter grove, gathering wild herbs, and original recipes for salted fern, lichen chips, and mushroom marmalade. Inside you will find practical recommendations for living near the forest, and the atmosphere will be perfectly complemented by the author's hand-drawn illustrations. The book will advise you on how to dress to protect yourself from ticks, how to distinguish edible mushrooms from dangerous ones, and what to do when encountering a lynx, wild boar, or bear. Learn to better understand nature and its inhabitants: from the first spring chores at the apiary to the rules of behavior in the territory of wild animals.
