James Aldred A Wagon in the Woods

When the Emmy-winning wildlife film-maker and author of Goshawk Summer (winner of the 2022 Wainwright Prize for Nature Writing) tracked down an old horse-drawn wagon he had played in as a child, it transported him back to a magical summer in the New Forest 40 years ago, awakening in him a desire to relive this magic with his own young family. Join him as he discusses delving into the region’s natural history and storied past as he painstakingly restored the wagon, reconnecting with the wild place that meant so much to him as a child.
