BBC Radio 4: Rare Earth

 – Exchange Marquee

Nature-writing is going through a renaissance. What started largely with TV tie-ins has evolved into a genre encompassing books about climate change, the countryside, walking, and off-grid living.
For Radio 4’s new landmark environment and nature series Rare Earth, presenters Tom Heap and Helen Czerski are joined on-stage by Mark Cocker, Philippa Forrester, and Chris Thorogood to discuss the purpose of nature-writing and why it's important, and how nature-writing can help shape our understanding of the natural world.
