The Acorn & Mire Wirebound Field Journal: A Premium Nature Journal and Fountain Pen-Friendly Notebook
The perfect notebook for nature journaling, field sketches, hiking observations, and everyday writing. Drawing on inspiration from pioneering ecologist Joseph Grinell's field journal system, our unique flip-top, landscape design lets you choose your preferred orientation page by page.
Ideal for:
- Nature journalists, field sketchers, and green sketchers
- Hikers and outdoor enthusiasts who want to plan their next escape, and capture recent memories
- Fountain pen users and stationery lovers (there's a bit of tooth to the paper, so perfect for fast writing and a medium nib)
- Scientific observations and field notes
- Botanical illustrations
- Daily journaling and creative writing (Emma uses hers in landscape orientation for longer prose)
Details
-
Notebook size: 120mm x 205mm - perfect for field work and desk use - (it's a little narrower than an A5 spiral notebook)
-
Cover details: Hand printed in our Dartmoor studio with vintage wood and metal type.
-
Pages: 104 pages (52 sheets) of FSC-mixed recycled paper made in England from take-away coffee cups. A lovely 120gsm paper with a bit of texture. Special first page to overcome blank page anxiety; final page describes our process (hand-set in metal type, and hand-printed, of course).
-
Front cover: 380gsm FSC-mixed recycled card, made in England from take-away coffee cups.
-
Back cover: sturdy dark grey backing board (1250 microns); recycled, and made in the UK.
-
Sustainability: UK-made FSC-certified recycled paper for the cover and inside pages (low carbon footprint). Plastic-free, glue-free binding that can be entirely recycled through home recycling pickup. Assembled entirely by hand (hand printed, hand bound, hand trimmed on vintage tools without the aid of electric machines).
- Colours: Devon Green, Gorse Yellow, Flint Black-on-Black, and Flint with white (for those who prefer jam on first)
Our commitment:
Every Acorn & Mire notebook supports UK paper mills and traditional craftsmanship. A portion of sales goes to forest, hedgerow, and peatland regeneration projects. Each journal is printed using heritage letterpress techniques in our Devon studio, offering an authentic alternative to mass-produced stationery.
Part of our wider commitment to sustainable stationery, these notebooks represent our dedication to both environmental consciousness and traditional British craftsmanship.
All of our papers are recycled, and British where possible. We can provide you specific details on certifications each paper has, and the mill where they were made.
