Managing Landscape

Synopsis: Farming and industry have had a major impact on the landscape. Whether derelict land is restored, or areas of beauty preserved, is largely influenced by politics and finance but ecologists have an essential management role once choices have been made. Professor Tony Bradshaw of Liverpool University explains how to tackle restoration of colliery spoil heaps. Dr Roger Smith from Newcastle University explains what influences the species composition of hay meadows in the Yorkshire Dales.

As soon as we have any information on other channels of distribution we will update this notice’. Some products are still available via second hand dealers on Amazon.co.uk
