We need wilderness on a grand scale but we also need it locally and in our every day lives too.
I feel more and more I am suffering because of the loss of nature. If I think too hard about the loss of biodiversity on a global scale or the destruction that climate change may wreak, then I feel overwhelmed. Closer to home I also feel saddened beyond belief at the loss of the nightingales that used to sing at the end of my road where now there is only the noise of construction, at the loss of the dark skies vanished behind bright white street lighting, at the loss of hedgerows that I knew intimately as places to pick blackberries now lost to road widening schemes. Nicola Chester, author of the impassioned On Gallows Down feels this loss too. That is why I am delighted to be doing a joint event with her at Waterstones in Canterbury where we get this opportunity to discuss the need for wilderness with you, if you join us.
