    Episode 14 - Changing Climate, Changing Wildlife with Brian

    In the last of the current series of podcasts, join Chief Exec of the Wildlife Trust for Beds, Cambs and Northants Brian Eversham as he discusses how wildlife, and the Wildlife Trust, has fared over the last year (and more) - and what challenges the climate crisis is posing. Plus, as a naturalist and ecologist, find out what wildlife he is enjoying the most at the moment, and how he manages to stay positive in the face of what can sometimes feel like relentlessly bad news for our wildlife and our planet.

    Episode 13: Nature and Mental Health with the Young People's Forum

    From four very different perspectives, we hear about how nature has helped members of our Young People's Forum with their own mental health challenges, and how important it is for young people in general to have access to nature. It's a moving and eye-opening episode, and we are so grateful to Kaitlyn, Anidunnu, Charlie and Harvey for their openness and honesty in sharing their stories.

Find out what links jazz hands, wet slaps and inbuilt ear defenders... hint: it's bats. Amazing!
