An evening discussing grassroots nature guardianship in practice. Wild Service In May 2022, the Royal Swedish Academy of Sciences released a paper that measured fourteen European countries on three factors: biodiversity, wellbeing, and nature connectedness. Britain came last in every single category. The findings are clear. We are suffering, and nature is too. Blending science, nature writing and indigenous philosophy, this ground-breaking book calls for mass reconnection to the land and a commitment to its restoration. In Wild Service we meet Britain’s new nature defenders: an anarchic cast of guerrilla guardians who neither own the places they protect, nor the permission to restore them. Still, they’re doing it anyway. This book is a celebration of their spirit and a call for you to join. So, whether you live in the countryside or the city, want to protect your local river or save our native flora, this is your invitation to rediscover the power in participation – the sacred in your service.
