The Woods (Hardcover) (ISBN-13: 9781800949348)

Terry grew up enjoying the woods at the back of the house, beyond the rear of the garden. He would often sneak out through an old garden door to explore the woods beyond.

Terry naturally loves spring and summer best of all; they are, of course, his favourite seasons. He dislikes winter immensely, finding it too cold and chilly, which makes him feel ever so miserable in the midwinter weather.

During the warmer seasons, Terry would escape to his favourite haunt, sometimes meeting up with his gang at their stamping ground. Terry developed an interest in gardening and horticulture. As a volunteer, he joined conservation projects, working as part of a team and engaging in meaningful conservation work.

Eventually, Terry broke ties with his gang and never saw any of them again-huntsmen and backwoodsmen, respectively. This came as a consequence of a crime committed, and Terry ended up living like a loner, a hermit, and a recluse. For him, this was the best way to live. He felt alienated from his old gang, estranged, and disconnected.

Rumours began to spread about controversial plans for a new development in the regional countryside. Outraged by these plans, Terry took action. He joined protestors, activists, demonstrators, and marchers to campaign against the development.

Terry's political struggles became focused on the environment: conservation, ecological protection, and restoration.
