The Midnight Marsh team invite you to join them in reading extracts from Annie Proulx’s Fen, Bog, and Swamp: A Short History of Peatland Destruction and its Role in the Climate Crisis.
As we prepare for our first nighttime walks through the marshes of Gent, we look to marshlands in other regions via Proulx’s investigations into the histories, folklores and science of these rare, unique and incredibly important environments.
Travelling from the fens of 16th Century England, to America’s Okefenokee National Wildlife Refuge, this book is both a revelatory history and an urgent plea for wetland reclamation, from one of our greatest living writers.
