The final chapter paints a beautiful landscape 20 years in the future, where the work Lee Schofield details in the previous 17 chapters has borne fruit, and the Fells are a lively patchwork of native trees, bright alpine meadow, and springy Altantic heath.
I have a newfound appreciation for wildflowers, and a new eye for the places where nature and the hill farm traditions have split from and rejoined each other.

Some interesting bits but the pro meat farmer opinion got annoying after a while. I get it is an area more based on farming animals than arable farming but unfortunately reminded me too much of the anti-vegan and vegetarian NFU and similar organisations adverts which have rubbish like saying eat meat because impact of avacados or drink cows milk because water use in almond milk. The idea of think of the farmers whose livelihoods are based on meat gets tiresome as well because there is the unsaid part which is support meat farmers over other farmers.

I have read a lot of books about farming and the lake district and this still managed to be informative and interesting. It was so nice to learn more about the landscape I am lucky enough to live with in and the ways we are trying to help it.
