Substacks recommended by Alexander M Crow

Recommended by Alexander M Crow

Woodland wanderings and musings of a therapeutic wilderness guide

I can guarantee that if you enjoy my Ancestral, Wild Empowerment series (or any of my nature-connected work), you'll find this a powerful addition to your reading. I know for a fact that backing The Forest Path there is a wealth of knowledge, experience, and time spent honing thoughts and ideas through irreplaceable hands-on practice. This is going to be a go-to Substack for me and I am very excited about the conversations which will naturally develop from these words.
