Description
Linescapes: A beautifully crafted exploration of Britain's countryside reveals the far-reaching ecological consequences of our lines. Hugh Warwick has travelled across the country to understand how, with a manifesto for reconnection, we can help our flora and fauna to flourish.
The lines that crisscross our landscape - hedges, walls, ditches, dykes, green lanes, roads, canals, railways, and power lines - have transformed our environment. As wildlife habitats are cut into smaller fragments, Warwick unravels the impact of these lines on our natural world.
Linescapes offers a fresh perspective on Britain's countryside, proposing a challenge for reconnection that holds hope for wildness and wildlife to flourish. A timely and essential read for anyone interested in nature and ecology.
