Guy Shrubsole | The Lie of the Land

Sat 23 Nov 2024 | 6:00pm – 7:00pm

‘The unjust impositions of historic land ownership blight all our lives – here Guy shows why’ – Chris Packham 

Just 1% of the population own half the land in England. Environmental campaigner Guy Shrubsole exposes how this tiny landowning elite’s apathy has damaged our land, and meets communities fighting back: the river guardians, small farmers and trespassing activists restoring lost wildlife. Full of rage and hope, he presents a bold vision for our nation’s wild places, and how we can attend to them with the awe they deserve. 

It’s time to demand better for nature. We can start by replacing the lie of the land with a profound truth: that any of us can care for the countryside, regardless of whether you own it.

In conversation with Craig Bennett, The Wildlife Trust (CEO)
