James Canton is an author and Director of Wild Writing at the University of Essex, England. His writing is mainly concerned with the ties between nature, literature and the environment.
On this episode of Nature Revisited, Canton discusses his experiences 'renaturing' a field behind his countryside cottage. Over time, what began as a grassy space for picnics and cricket matches became something more, and was once again buzzing with life. As his efforts revealed, even on the smallest of scales we can all create habitats to support a greater diversity of nature and be involved in caring for and restoring the natural world.
