My body is a meadow : finding freedom in the outdoors
Handley, Bethany2026
Books
Today, nearly one in four people are disabled in the UK. Public rights of way are blocked in 32,000 places across England and Wales. 'My Body is a Meadow' writes into this troubling landscape. Passionate and political, it delivers a galvanising call for us to rethink how we live among nature and each other. Lyrical and personal, Bethany Handley invites readers to wheel alongside her as she explores ableism, climate justice and what nature means to her. On this journey, we discover the feral boar of the Forest of Dean and one of the first places in Britain to industrialise; how the metal and rubber of a wheelchair can become just as much a part of your body as skin and bone; why swifts rarely land and how maps tell a story of exclusion.
