From Cow Green to Re-wilding

摘要

When John Bowers generously invited me to become President, he explained that this was because of my conservation work in Yorkshire during the 1970s and 1980s, initially in the East Riding and later in the Yorkshire Dales, while working for the Nature Conservancy Council (NCC). I have therefore chosen in this Address to take a look back at the last 50 years of conservation.
