Wild Service: Words & Music Performance

Songs and Stories from Nature

‘Wild Service’ calls for ordinary people to reconnect to the land and commit to its restoration.

Whether it is polluted rivers, tree felling or the decline of pollinators, this event invites you to discover the power in participation and community.

Writers Nicola Chester and Jon Moses, as well as musician Sam Lee (who will also perform), lay out how we can collectively shape a brighter future for our homeland by developing new connections with the natural world.

‘[An] inspired, inclusive and fantastically ambitious reimagining of our relationship with land and the living world, in Britain and beyond.’- Robert Macfarlane

This panel will be chaired by Chantal Lyons who is a naturalist, writer and science communicator. Her encounters with the rewilding movement inspired her to head to the Forest of Dean to study the relationships between people and wild boar. She is the author of Groundbreakers: The Return of Britain’s Wild Boar, which was Highly Commended in its category in the 2024 Wainwright Prize.

This event lasts 1 hour and 15 minutes
Tickets: 25s and under price available.
