    Pineapple weeds and car parks - Lucy Lapwing

    What does nature mean to you? An untouched forest or some weeds behind a Sainsbury’s car park? And how do we fall in love with it? Today, A New Leaf has Lucy Lapwing on the show, author of Love is a Toad: Exploring our relationship with nature. In our first ever episode, we discuss where she got her spark for nature, what it means to have a deeper connection with natural habitats, and the strange places you might find them, A New Leaf is brought to you by sustainability filmmaker Will Dorrien-Smith and environmental journalist Jack Graham. They have reported on climate and nature issues globally for the likes of National Geographic and Reuters. And they’re mates that go for hikes and boat trips in the countryside.
