Who are the custodians of the countryside? With Guy Shrubsole
Update: 2024-12-17
Description
In this episode, you'll hear highlights from our recent "in conversation" event with Guy Shrubsole where he and our head of natural environment, Lydia Collas, discussed his latest book “The Lie of the Land: Who Really Cares for the Countryside?”.
The book examines some of the most dramatic failures of land stewardship in Britain’s recent history. But also tells the story of the people trying to pick up the pieces, the small scale farmers, community groups and members of the public who seek to be the custodians of land, whether or not they own it.
Some other topics covered in the discussion include:
- Differences between Britain and other countries' land ownership
- The role and balance of private and public investment in nature restoration
- The power and resources of National Parks
- A right to roam/right to responsible access
The discussion concludes with an audience Q&A.
