Guy Shrubsole

Guy Shrubsole is a British researcher, writer and campaigner. He wrote Who Owns England?: How We Lost Our Green and Pleasant Land, and How to Take It Back.[1]

Life and work

Shrubsole was born in Newbury, Berkshire.[2]

He spent years researching who owns the land in England.[3] In August 2020, Shrubsole and Nick Hayes launched a campaign on freedom to roam in England, called Right to Roam.[4] In July 2021 he and Hayes collaborated with Landscapes of Freedom and David Bangs to organise a mass trespass on the Sussex Downs to raise awareness of the failings of the Countryside and Rights of Way Act 2000, which Shrubsole claims still only gives the public access to 8% of land and 3% of rivers in England.[5][6]

He works as Policy and Campaigns Coordinator at Rewilding Britain.[7]
