More recently she has been focusing on writing and photographing for a series of books with co-author Fiona Danks. When her children were small she worked in Watlington Primary School and the Dragon school in Oxford, applying her creative knowledge to the classroom with children aged 6-9 years.
She worked mainly for national editorial magazines such as Country Living. This led on to her becoming a commercial photographer in Australia and then London. After getting involved in the production of a film, she went on to work in the creative department of a TV advertising agency where she began taking still photographs.

They have run events, lead training courses for teachers and environmental educators, presented at conferences as keynote speakers, written articles, and they are helping to build the Leaves for Life Campaign to raise awareness of the ecological emergency. They both live at the foot of the Chiltern Hills in South Oxfordshire, where they enjoy natural history, walking and exploring the local countryside. Through their books and website, they inspire families everywhere to get outside and become immersed in the natural world. Together they have been writing and photographing the Going Wild books for the last fifteen years. They believe that all children and families should regularly spend time outdoors in green spaces where nature can weave its magic upon them. Fiona and Jo believe that reconnecting everyone with nature is vital if we are to understand our reliance on a healthy and biodiverse natural world, and ensure it is protected for the future. Jo Schofield is an environmental educator and author who works with her writing partner Fiona Danks to create beautiful books about the natural world.
