Interview - Linda Phillips, founder and director, Roots & Shoots

Roots & Shoots was founded in 1982 on a former civil defence site with the aim of helping young people in South London to prepare for work. Since then the site has been transformed and now includes an eco-training centre with environmental features such as a photovoltaic roof, a plant nursery, shop, Wildlife Study Centre and Wild Garden.
