Historically, temperate rainforests covered a much larger area of Britain and, thanks to our maritime climate, the habitat has the potential to cover 5% of England and 20% of Britain overall. It has since evolved into both a campaign, and a forthcoming book, ‘The Lost Rainforests of Britain’, to be published by William Collins in October 2022.ĭespite their importance and significance, Britain’s temperate rainforests now only remain in fragmented pockets, including in Dartmoor National Park.

He used to work as Policy and Campaigns Coordinator at Rewilding Britain.
In July 2021 he and Hayes collaborated with Landscapes of Freedom and David Bangs to organise a mass trespass on the Sussex Downs to raise awareness of the failings of the Countryside and Rights of Way Act 2000, which Shrubsole claims still only gives the public access to 8% of land and 3% of rivers in England. In August 2020, Shrubsole and Nick Hayes launched a campaign on freedom to roam in England, called Right to Roam. He spent years researching who owns the land in England. Shrubsole was born in Newbury, Berkshire and attended St Bartholomew's School. He wrote Who Owns England?: How We Lost Our Green and Pleasant Land, and How to Take It Back. Guy Shrubsole is a British researcher, writer and campaigner.
