The tiny landowning elite like to present themselves as custodians of the land. They’re paid billions in public money to be good stewards, yet the damage they have done through pollution and degradation is immense. Guy Shrubsole journeys all over Britain to meet the communities fighting back - river guardians, small farmers and trespassing activists restoring lost wildlife. Full of rage and hope, this is a bold vision for wild places, and how we can treat them with the awe and attention they deserve. from the bestselling author of The Lost Rainforests of Britain
