About the event

Wild Threads
Join us at the Nature Discovery Centre for a captivating series of talks exploring the connections between landscape, nature, ecology, literature, poetry, and wildlife. 

This month: Ailsa takes you on a stroll through eight centuries of literature, revealing changing attitudes to nature and ideas about mankind and society. Why did the Lake District stop being thought of as Daniel Defoe described it in 1724: ‘the wildest, most barren and frightful’ place? And why was the garden such a powerful symbol in sixteenth and seventeenth century works? 

Led by the popular host of Birds and a Brew, Ailsa Claybourne, these sessions promise insight, inspiration, and a fresh perspective on the natural world.
