In May 2022, the Royal Swedish Academy of Science released a paper that measured fourteen European countries on three factors: biodiversity, wellbeing, and nature connectedness. Britain came last in every single one. The study concluded that without adequate connection to nature, our population would suffer significant mental and physical health decline, which would in turn make us less inclined to protect the environment. In other words, our health and the wellbeing of nature are intrinsically dependent on the other. ‘Wild Service’ is an all-star ensemble collection of essays from the members of the Right to Roam campaign in collaboration with Nick Hayes’s infamous woodcut illustrations that present a positive framework for a new relationship with the natural world.

‘The Trespasser’s Companion’ is a rallying cry for greater public access to nature and a gently seditious guide to how to get it: by trespassing. We may be excluded from the majority of our land, no less than 92% in England, but bestselling nature writer and trespasser Nick Hayes shows how we can reclaim our lost connection. By engaging with the land through craft and learning and by caring for it, our relationship with the countryside will be better for us, and better for nature. Interwoven are testimonials from expert contributors – farmers and landworkers, activists and authors – each with deeply personal stories of what a connection to nature means for them.

The vast majority of our country is entirely unknown to us because we are banned from setting foot on it. By law of trespass, we are excluded from 92% of the land and 97% of its waterways, blocked by walls whose legitimacy is rarely questioned. But behind them lies a story of enclosure, exploitation and dispossession of public rights whose effects last to this day. ‘The Book of Trespass’ takes us on a journey over the walls of England, into the thousands of square miles of rivers, woodland, lakes and meadows that are blocked from public access. By trespassing the land of the media magnates, Lords, politicians and private corporations that own England, Nick Hayes argues that the root of social inequality is the uneven distribution of land.
