Inhaltsangabe

In the early part of the 21st century, the countryside as we know it stands at a crossroads. Coming over the hill towards it is a storm of change greater even than the Agricultural Revolution, or the Depression of the 1930s. Rural areas are under threat from vast numbers of people with a different view of the countryside and different requirements of it, often, sadly, with no understanding of its ways and values, and what lies behind these. The pressure is on: rural people, the landscape in which they live and work, their skills and distinct way of life, are all at risk. Can the countryside survive? I believe it can, but only if we make it happen. We must speak out and educate those who have not had the good fortune to learn country ways and skills. We must not allow old values to be lost. We must share the secrets, too. This book does just that, and deserves to be read by all those who want to learn and understand more. It tells, quietly and from profound experience, the how and why of managing the countryside, treading softly over the ground in the way of a true countryman. It shows how hunting and conservation are a part of the same great landscape, tightly woven into the everyday lives of rural people, and vital to the maintenance of the countryside we love.
