Treat yourself to these reads or head to your local library for these great environment and nature-related books

One of the best things about long winter evenings is the excuse to spend hours on end absorbed in reading good books: get stuck into these seven environment and nature-related reads

It’s January. While the winter solstice has passed and we know that the days are gradually growing longer, there is still a while to wait for the energy of spring and the longer evenings that entice us to the outdoors more. 

But there is always a silver lining, and for me, one of the best things about long winter evenings is the excuse to spend hours on end absorbed in reading good books. So here I’m sharing seven of my favourite environment and nature-related reads of the past few months, five Irish books and three international titles.
