The Lie of the Land: Who Really Cares for the Countryside?

Sheffield University Drama Studio, Shearwood Rd, S10 2TD

Environmental campaigner Guy Shrubsole talks about his new book and why just 1% of the population own half of England’s land. This tiny landowning elite have laid waste to some of our treasured landscapes, leaving forests bare, rivers polluted and moorlands burned. Guy met communities working to restore lost wildlife and offers a hopeful vision for our wild places and how we can care for the countryside and demand better for nature.
