In her latest book, Earthworks, which is launched at tLitfest, Karen Lloyd takes us from the rainforests of Costa Rica to the Lake District to explore the hidden life of habitats, and challenges us to understand that preserving our planet demands recognising the intrinsic rights of our fellow species.
‘Lloyd has packed the explosives, lit the fuse and lobbed in our direction the bravest and boldest volume of Nature writing this century. This is fearless writing at its Orwellian best’ Mark Cocker
Wild Fell is Lee Schofield’s celebrated account of a decade working for the RSPB at Haweswater in the Lake District National Park, where he oversaw pioneering conservation work across an upland mosaic of habitats covering 30km2. Today he is working on one of the largest Landscape Recovery Projects in England, aiming to create a 150km2 corridor of wildlife-rich land extending from Penrith to Kendal.
‘A thrilling, inspiring journey into the restoration of our uplands. I found myself turning the pages with an inward leap of joy’ Isabella Tree on Wild Fell by Lee Schofield
Together Lee and Karen will explore the connections between land recovery and the rights of nature.
