About Writing Our Countryside
Join nature writers Richard Negus and Patrick Galbraith in conversation about the state of our countryside
Meet Richard Negus – former soldier and professional horseman, who now lays hedges for a living. He is the author of Words from the Hedge, he writes about British rural life for The Daily Telegraph, and he co-hosts a weekly podcast – Countryslide – covering British rural life.
Patrick Galbraith is a columnist for Country Life and The Critic. His first book – In Search of the One Last Song – was called the most important book on the Countryside in years.
