The Lie of the Land

An examination of how Britain's landowning elite, often paid public subsidies to act as stewards of the countryside, have instead left rivers polluted, wetlands drained and moorland burned. Shrubsole travels the country meeting the communities working to restore damaged landscapes. Published in 2024, it won the Wainwright Prize for Conservation in 2025.
