Community - People and Wildlife on the West Coast of Scotland
An online talk with Jane Smith
Wildlife artist Jane Smith talks about her new book in which she travels up the west coast of Scotland, meeting groups who are taking on the challenge of regenerating their own landscapes.
From St Kilda to Dumfries, from the peatlands of Lewis to the urban sprawl of Glasgow, she’ll introduce you to fascinating places and a host of inspiring people whose lives are bound up with questions of sustainability, conservation and land ownership.
Jane Smith first moved to Scotland to make wildlife films for the BBC. Later, her work took her abroad, but when her children were born, she realised that toddlers and tigers were not a good mix. She settled in Argyll and switched to making wildlife artwork as a way of sharing her passion for the natural world.
