Friends of the Earth are the co-publishers of the new edition of Wild Britain: A Traveller's Guide by Douglas Botting. Their connection with the book arose out of a common interest in spreading knowledge of wild places.

FoE felt that their members would like the descriptions of wild places offered in Wild Britain and the other Wild Guides and that they would appreciate the underlying philosophy of the series. The aim of the Wild Guides is not only to inform backpackers, walkers and other outdoor enthusiasts about where to go but also to germinate a deeper understanding of the rhythms of nature among the urban populations of the developed world and so to increase support for nature conservation.

As the editor of FoE's Earthmatters magazine pointed out in an editorial introducing Wild Britain, there is an alternative to the conspicuous consumption and fuel guzzling syndrome of the plane-hopping summer holiday. 'You can travel in a planet-friendly way and see amazing wildlife without leaving Britain,' he writes. 'Wild Britain offers a personal but very practical guide to Britain's wild places'. And in buying the book, he adds, 'you'll be helping fund FoE's campaign for stronger laws to help protect our wild places'.
