The lie of the landscape: that British landowners care for the countryside.

The elite of landowners are paid billions by taxpayers to be good custodians. Yet these same landowners have indifferently trampled over our most beloved landscapes, leaving rivers polluted, wetlands drained, and marshes burned.

Guy Shrubsole has traveled across Britain to unveil the lie and meet the communities striving to restore our lost landscapes. This is a bold, shared vision for the wild areas of our country and how we can engage with them with the admiration and attention they deserve.
