Description

Guy Shrubsole is an environmental campaigner, co-founder of the Right to Roam campaign to extend public access to land, and author of Who Owns England? (William Collins, 2019), a polemical investigation into England's oldest, darkest secret ? who owns our land, and how they came to possess it. With 1% of the population owning half of all England, what does this mean for how land is used and abused, for how we solve the climate and ecological emergencies, and for the public's access to land?

Since moving to Devon last year, Guy has continued to investigate land ownership both nationally and locally. This talk will focus on who owns Dartmoor, rights of common and rights of access, and what scope there might be for rewilding within the National Park, by restoring some of Dartmoor's lost temperate rainforests.
