In 2015, England’s last and loneliest golden eagle died in an unmarked spot among the remote eastern fells of the Lake District. It was a tragic day for the nation’s wildlife, but the fight to restore the landscape had already begun. Wild Fell by Lee Schofield is the story of a landmark RSPB project to restore over 3,000 hectares of the Lake District, from the tiniest wildflowers up to majestic golden eagles.
Lee Schofield is site manager at RSPB Haweswater in the Lake District, a landscape scale nature reserve incorporating working farms. Wild Fell is his first book.
