Hey, I’m Zoe Woods.
I’m a freelance writer and poet, exploring our relationship with nature through the lens of wilderness, wildness, and humanness.
Sharing the natural world through poetry, topical reporting, and in-depth essays – I’m always looking for ways to make people fall in love with the places I’m passionate about.
