For five decades Richard Mabey has been a pioneering voice in modern nature writing. From the rediscovery of foraging that led to “Food for Free”, through his ground-breaking expeditions in the “edgelands” in the 1970s, to his reflections on the musicality of birdsong, he has consistently explored new ways of thinking about nature and its relation to our lives.

Richard joins us in conversation with author, naturalist and leading expert on fungi John Wright to speak about his latest projects and the importance of hedgerows. John’s publications include books on gathering fungi and mushrooms, and how to make your own booze, all published in the popular River Cottage Handbook series.
