Owain Jones, Emeritus Professor of Environmental Humanities at Bath Spa University (UK), shares the story of his family farm in South Wales, compulsorily purchased and redeveloped by the city of Cardiff in 1970. Recalling the animals, trees, and people of the landscape he grew up with, Owain reflects on our emotional and physical attachment to the environment, the ways that memories recreate lost places, and what happens when humans and animals are forced to leave their natural habitat.
