Wild Service

Explore the profound connection between humanity and the land with biologist and writer Amy Jane Beer and Right To Roam pioneer, Nadia Shaikh.

Are we ready to rewrite Britain’s nature narrative through reconnection and restoration?

According to recent scientific papers, Britain is now the most nature depleted country in Europe, with its people more disconnected to the natural world than any other country. It is clear that damage to the countryside is damaging us too.

The Right to Roam movement for equal access to the countryside has been inspiring and empowering people since its inception in 2020. Now its pioneers have come together with a new concept that argues that humanity’s loss and nature’s need are two sides of the same story.

‘Wild Service’ calls for ordinary people to reconnect to the land and commit to its restoration. Whether it is polluted rivers, tree felling or decline of pollinators, Wild Service invites you to discover the power in participation and community.

Join biologist and writer Amy Jane Beer alongside land justice activist Nadia Shaikh, musician Sam Lee and writer Jon Moses to discover how we can collectively shape a brighter future for our homeland. This event will be chaired by Daniel Grimston.
