WILDERLANDS: THE HUMAN HISTORY OF WILD BRITAIN (HB)

When was Britain last truly wild? And what, if anything, remains? This is the unexpectedly human history of wild Britain: 12,000 years of our changing relationship with the landscape. Through prehistory, Roman occupation, the Middle Ages and after, we see unfamiliar beasts of the old wild make way for species such as brown hare and fallow deer, now considered eternal symbols of the British countryside, but introduced much later than we might think. We are integral to the ecology of our land – and have the power to shape its future.
