Description

Lee Schofield's story is one of hope and resilience in the face of adversity. In 2015, the last golden eagle in England died in the Lake District, but the fight to restore the landscape had already begun. Schofield, an ecologist and site manager, is leading efforts to breathe life back into two hill farms and their thirty square kilometres of sprawling upland habitat.

The area's history has been marked by turmoil, leaving its habitats in tatters. Schofield's journey took him to Norway and the Alps in search of inspiration, but it was the local land, its history, and the people who have shaped it that ultimately informed his approach. By remeandering a straightened river and repairing damaged wetlands, meadows, and woods, Schofield and his team have created a richer, wilder landscape that can withstand the challenges of a changing climate.

This is not just a story of nature in recovery, but also of the complexities of balancing rewilding with cherished farming traditions. Schofield's personal connection to the land and the highs and lows of working for nature amid fierce opposition are woven throughout the narrative, offering a nuanced exploration of the solutions for a richer world.
