Fighting for Nature on a Lake District hill farm

The next event delivered by Dumfries & Galloway Woodlands is a chance to hear from Author Lee Schofield about his book 'Wild Fell: Fighting for Nature on a Lake District hill farm'.

The book is his account of a decade working for the RSPB at Haweswater in the Lake District National Park, and the personal and professional challenges involved in working at the coal-face of nature conservation in the uplands.

In his day job as RSPB Senior Site Manager, Lee is responsible for overseeing conservation work across an upland mosaic of woodland, bog, mountain and meadow covering thirty square kilometres.

Delivered online through the Streamyard platform, this is a chance to let participants hear from Lee about his journey, how the book came together, and how his findings can inform work elsewhere. The event will primarily consist of a presentation format, but questions will be welcomed throughout.
