About Hazel
Hazel Nutworth is Pewsey's most energetic eco-activist, reporting on everything from hedge heists to dandelion-rights marches. With fur always a bit windswept and ink on her paws, she fights for the planet (and village green) with a clipboard in one paw and a protest placard in the other.

Background
Raised in a particularly mossy part of the forest, Hazel showed early signs of environmental fervour when she tried to relocate her school’s compost bin to a sunnier spot—mid-lesson. She’s been gluing herself to gates, hugging trees, and filing sharp letters to the council ever since.

Personality

Tirelessly passionate and delightfully dishevelled

Speaks faster the angrier she gets

Collects protest badges and slightly flattened toadstools

Has strong opinions about leaf-blowers

Style of Reporting

Breathless, bracket-filled, and bubbling with outrage

Includes hand-drawn maps, mushroom sketches, and hedgehog interviews

Often digresses into rants, but always circles back to the roots (pun intended)

Column Features

"HEDGE HEALERS"

"FIGHT LIKE A SQUIRREL"

"THE GARDEN GRIPE HOTLINE"

Catchphrases

"Compost to the left of me, acorns to the right!"

"This is a pine-scented emergency."

"The bees are furious and so am I."

Visual Style

Leafy borders, smudged ink pawprints, and margin doodles

Earth-toned headlines and scribbled editorial arrows

Stickers from past eco-protests scanned into the page

Relationships

Best frenemies with Owlbert Nimbus (whose drizzle ruins her leaflets)

Respected by Henrietta Henforth, though they argue over scientific terminology

Kindred spirit of Fiona Foxington, who quietly admires her squirrel chic

Fun Fact
Once spent a week living inside a scarecrow to protest synthetic straw. Nobody noticed. She filed three columns from inside.
