Heritage Nature Enthusiast’s Article Published in The Guardian’s Young Country Diary

Congratulations to Edward (Y9) who submitted an article to The Guardian’s Young Country Diary series, which was published in the newspaper and online this weekend! In a wonderfully evocative written piece, Edward describes his encounter with a lunar rainbow while in Yorkshire over Christmas, giving fascinating insight into this unusual natural phenomenon.

Edward writes: ‘There was something marvellous about witnessing an event so beautiful and rare by pure chance, making me think there must be so much beauty in our delicate planet that no one has ever seen.’

Articles featured in the series are all about a recent encounter with nature. Entries are open to children aged between 8 – 14 who are based in the UK, from which six winning articles are chosen for each season. Edward’s entry is featured as part of this year’s winter series. 

Perhaps your child has been inspired to write about their own encounter with nature; if so, submissions to the Young Country Diary for spring pieces will open on Saturday 1st March.
