Love is a Toad
Exploring our relationship with nature
Lucy explores how nature makes us feel, from wild grief and anger through to soaring joy and indefatigable hope.
Wrestling with tangled emotions, and in an attempt to make sense of this dance between joy and grief, Lucy Lapwing decided to go on a journey.
In Love Is a Toad, Lucy traverses meadows, bogs and hedgerows with her fellow nature enthusiasts, where she digs down into our relationship with the natural world. At once a celebration and an invitation to reflect, Love Is a Toad prods and pokes at our conne
ction to the natural world.
Lucy Lapwing grew up in west Lancashire fascinated by things that scuttled and fluttered and slimed. But it was only as an adult that she really came to know the nature under her nose. Now a wildlife campaigner, Lucy writes about nature on Instagram and works behind the scenes on BBC Springwatch. Outside – and indeed inside – of work, you’re likely to spot her rootling in the mud, collecting feathers and bones, or whispering compliments to spiders. Lucy now lives on the Isle of Bute.
