The Trespasser's Companion is a short, celebratory and urgent book about the land and our access to it. It is a call to adventure, a love letter to nature and, because in England we are excluded from 94% of the land, a gently seditious guide to trespass. With brilliant immediacy Nick Hayes shows how we can reclaim our lost connection to the land. From how to play in nature to how to leave no trace, this is an inspiring handbook to take out in your pocket. The book also features a host of passionate and expert environmental contributors including Robert Macfarlane and Guy Shrubsole. This Companion echoes the travel guides of yesteryear with beautiful woodcuts integrated throughout. This is a beautiful nature giftbook with a very modern edge.
