Mo Metcalf is the Director of External Affairs for the Countryside Alliance. 

We typically dive into a wide range of topics on all things countryside. From Countryside Alliance’s overarching mission and Mo’s evolving role in the media, to the thorny controversies surrounding deer culls and grouse shooting, no stone is left unturned.

We also wade into the RSPB seemingly forgetting about the birds, the notion that the countryside is far from “wild” but in fact carefully man-made, and the Left and Labour’s rather tempestuous relationship with Britain’s green and pleasant land. And, of course, there’s plenty more along the way.
