Hand, Head and Heart in the Wyre Forest: shaping the future of Ruskin Land - a talk by Mark Cleaver

July 24th 2026

Guild Director Mark Cleaver gives an illustrated talk exploring Ruskin Land — the Guild’s unique holding within the Wyre Forest National Nature Reserve. This informal, discussion‑led session introduces the emerging management plan shaped by Ruskin’s values: exemplary environmental stewardship, support for a resilient rural economy rooted in craft, and rich opportunities for learning that bring together “hand, head and heart.” Mark shared how these principles are being translated into practice across the mosaic of habitats, partnerships and enterprises that make Ruskin Land so distinctive. The talk was given on 30th June 2026
