Wild Service nature guardianship in action
with writer and Right to Roam campaigner Jon Moses
Paul Powlesland - founder of Lawyers for Nature and author of the Wild Service chapter on Guardianship
Nicola Cutcher - co-founder and trustee of the Friends of the Wye
Hosted by Chantal Lyons
Enter ‘Wild Service’ – a visionary concept crafted by the pioneers of the Right to Roam campaign, which argues that humanity’s loss and nature’s need are two sides of the same story. An evening discussing grassroots nature guardianship in practice.
Wild Service
In May 2022, the Royal Swedish Academy of Sciences released a paper that measured fourteen European countries on three factors: biodiversity, wellbeing, and nature connectedness. Britain came last in every single category. The findings are clear. We are suffering, and nature is too.
Blending science, nature writing and indigenous philosophy, this ground-breaking book calls for mass reconnection to the land and a commitment to its restoration.
In Wild Service we meet Britain’s new nature defenders: an anarchic cast of guerrilla guardians who neither own the places they protect, nor the permission to restore them. Still, they’re doing it anyway. This book is a celebration of their spirit and a call for you to join. So, whether you live in the countryside or the city, want to protect your local river or save our native flora, this is your invitation to rediscover the power in participation – the sacred in your service.
Right to Roam
Right to Roam was founded in 2020 by Nick Hayes and Guy Shrubsole and has since grown into a small and feisty organisation of campaigners, writers, artists and ecologists and nature connectors.
Chantal Lyons is a naturalist, writer and science communicator and is the author of Groundbreakers - The Return of Britain’s Wild Boar
