In Carwyn Graves’ book Tir: The Story of the Welsh Landscape, he helps us to unpick the way in which language, culture and land use are inextricably linked in Wales, and the influence that surely has on contemporary conversations. He argues that for millennia humans have shaped the landscape of Wales, and nature has thrived alongside farming, managing and interacting with the land and its wildlife; that it’s only since the industrialised farming practices of the second half of the 20th century that nature has been devastatingly impacted. He presents this in opposition to ideas of rewilding that try to remove humans from the equation all together. He will discuss these ideas with Jessica McQuade (Wholescape Manager for WWF), unearthing what we can learn from the past to help protect the future.

This talk will be in English.
