In the inaugural event of the John Muir Trust’s “Spirit of John Muir” series Chris will talk about his own passion for nature and his vision for the future of conservation, including his thoughts on the rewilding movement – an approach to nature conservation that aims to restore natural processes, repair damaged ecosystems and reintroduce lost species such as beaver, lynx and wolf.
Attendees at this event will receive a complimentary copy of the John Muir Trust Journal – a quality publication normally only available to members of the Trust.

N.B.
The John Muir Trust is a conservation charity dedicated to protecting and enhancing wild places. We work to defend wild land, rewild habitats and encourage people of all ages and backgrounds to connect with wild places.
The Trust takes its name and inspiration from naturalist, writer, adventurer, explorer and campaigner John Muir (1838-1914). Muir was passionate about wild places. He explored them, wrote about them and campaigned to protect them, helping people to understand the importance of wildness. He saved the world-famous Yosemite Valley in the United States from exploitation and destruction, playing an instrumental role in the creation of the world’s first national park system.
