​
I’m Jessica Groenendijk, by turns a nature writer, science communicator, amateur photographer, otter biologist, and scatterling. I write for adults and children, and, above all, for nature, fusing my work in conservation and my personal experiences of wild creatures and wild places with my passion for words and photography. Welcome!
Writing for Nature
Wild Life blog
My nature blog is a mix of musings about the nature I see around me, pieces about field excursions, descriptions of wildlife adventures, and trips down memory lane. I send an occasional newsletter to my valued subscribers, alerting them to fresh content and new developments.
Nature photography
The photos on this site are my own, unless stated otherwise. The main background image was taken by my father, Peter, in Cape Town, South Africa.
