Wildish Field Notes Club
A monthly letter and art for outside people.
Join before the 15th, and you'll receive this month's Mail Club. Join after the 15th, and your first Mail Club will arrive next month.
We post the Field Notes Club on the 16th-17th of each month. Mid-month, when you've forgotten what day of the week it is, and the post needs to be something other than a bill. Inside every envelope is: a letter from Oz, an Illustrated field note to keep, a beautiful print, a postcard to send to someone else and a little something extra, all illustrated by the artist Jonny Boatfield. It's slow. It's small. It's the opposite of an email.
All membership helps fund Wildish Club.
Where do you ship?
We offer free 2 day UK shipping, and we ship worldwide. But for international orders we charge an extra £3.50 to cover increased postage costs and please allow between 10 and 21 working days. It is snail mail after all.
What's in the envelope?
Each month has a theme, something that we love about nature, and you can hopefully find or see where you are that month.
The Letter A short letter from Oz on what we've been noticing. The kind of thing you'd want to read with a cup of coffee on a Sunday morning.
The Field Note A original illustrated print. Like a page from a naturalist's notebook - illustration with notes, labels, the small details.
The Print A beautiful piece of art inspired by that month's theme.
The Postcard Something for someone else. Wildish Club is about connection - and the post is the slowest, best version of that. Every envelope includes a postcard designed for you to send to someone you've been meaning to write to. Address it, stamp it, drop it in the box...or, keep it for yourself.
Something Special A small extra, themed to the month. Could be a recipe card, a seed packet, a sticker, a small print.
The golden ticket
One golden ticket. One lucky wildish person. Every month.
Every month, someone in our Wildish Worlds wins an original illustrated golden ticket.
It's open to everyone that's signed up to our Newsletter or our Mail Club.
If you find one in your envelope, you've won that month's prize. The prize changes every month. It might be one of our bags. It might be a one-off print. It might be something we've made just for the ticket-holder. We won't tell you what it is until someone wins it.
Made by Oz and Jonny
Wildish Club founder Oz likes to write, but his dad Jonny is the person who makes this mail club special. He's the best artist you've never heard of. Unless you've read the best-selling children's book he wrote and illustrated.
Jonny studied under Quentin Blake at the Royal College of Art and has been reviewed as "the greatest draughtsman since Leonardo Davinci", so this is a great chance to get an insight into his world and a piece of his work every month.
Get outside
An excuse to look up.
The whole point is to nudge you out the door and into the world that's been there all along. Each envelope is a small prompt to notice something - a bird, a tree, a quiet hour. Phone down, kettle on, post in your hand.
Quality first
Original illustrated work, every month.
Every Field Note is an original piece. Drawn, printed, posted. Designed to live on your fridge, your shelf, your noticeboard. Over the year, you build a small collection that's only available to club members.
Customer care
Incredible art accessible for all.
£8.50 a month. No long contract. Cancel anytime. The whole thing is built to be the easiest, least expensive way to get a bit of Wildish into your life - and to keep Wildish Club going.

We will work quickly to ship your order as soon as possible. Once your order has shipped, you will receive an email with further information. Delivery times vary depending on your location.
When will my first envelope arrive?
We post on the 16th-17th of every month. If you join before the 15th, you'll be in that month's batch. If you join after, your first envelope posts on the 16th of next month. Royal Mail takes 2–5 working days from there in the UK. For intrenational orders allow for 10-21 working days.

Each month has a theme, something that we love about nature, and you can hopefully find or see where you are that month.

How does the golden ticket work?
One lucky wildish person, either in our newsletter or mail club, every month, will receive an original illustrated golden ticket - hand-drawn, one of a kind. If you are the golden ticket winner, you get that month's prize. The prize changes every month, and we don't announce what it is until someone wins it. No catch, just a small lucky thing from us to say thanks to everyone in our Wildish world.
What's Wildish Club?
It's a bit like Cub Scouts for adults.
It's the thing the mail club supports - communities, walks, events and zines.
Helping people feel a little more connected in a disconnected world.
Do you ship internationally?
Yes, we do, but allow for an extra 10-21 working days for shipping.
How do I cancel?
From your account, any time. Cancel before the 1st of the month to skip that month's envelope. After the 1st, you'll receive that month's envelope and your subscription will end after.
If you joined before the 17th of June, please contact us to cancel, as we have changed systems.
When will the subscription be charged on my account?
You will be charged for your first subscription as soon as you join. After that, your subscription will automatically renew on the 1st of each month.
