Field Notes / Nodiadau Maes CIC is a rural community arts and publishing organisation working across the Welsh and English borderlands, Gloucestershire and the Peak District. We support communities to share stories, build resilience and create knowledge together through slow, land based and accessible publishing practices.

​

Founded in 2025 by Aimee Blease‑Bourne, Field Notes is a home for community publishing, creative consultation and participatory research. Our work is rooted in queer ecology and shaped by care, accessibility and trauma informed approaches.

​

We develop creative tools, training and community led archives that challenge dominant narratives about rural life. At the heart of our work is a guiding question. How does it feel to unfurl in a place where queerness, care, creativity and connection can take root.
