Many of us long to be our own boss and to escape from the rat-race into the heart of the countryside. The author put this idea into practice and escaped from industry, after over twenty years, to create a wildelife sanctuary in his own woodland far from the beaton track. His experiences suggested that it might be possible, not only to attract a wide variety of wildlife but to make the experiment pay for itself. He is far more interested in birds than in bird-watchers, so the last thing he wantes was to destroy the peace of his sanctuary by turning it into a glorified wildelife park. He tells the story of this experiment in this book. His techniques are controversial because he works on the theory that nature conservation is as old as gamekeeping - and that some of his keeper and poacjer friends have forgotten more about wild creatures than the blue stocking boffins will ever know. Conservationists may get ideas for researves which do not have to rely on charity and sportsmen may help threatened species at the same time as they are increasing their potential bag. In putting the design for wilderness into practice, the author not only tastes the delights of escape from modern pressures but the even greater satisfaction of leading a creative as well as a simple life.
