In the last of our current season of podcasts, I chat to our CEO Brian Eversham about the past and future for the Wildlife Trust.

In the company of some local elms, we discussed how wildlife, and the Wildlife Trust, has fared over the last year (and more) - and what challenges the climate crisis is posing for our work. 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. And what you might be able to do, too.

Our woodlands need you

Woodlands are one of our most evocative habitats. The light, sounds, smells, temperature – everything changes when you walk amongst the trees. They convey a sense of peace and that feeling can have a profound impact on our wellbeing. But we could be in danger of taking their long, rich history for granted; the threats they face today are as great as they have ever been. 

Our Wilder Future Fund is an ambitious effort to raise £500,000 a year over the next three years - £1.5 million to help nature recover across our three counties. 

With your support, we're already doing so much, but our woodlands are in vital need of more help.

NATURE IN RECOVERY

Dormouse Champion

Kevin Doyle has been surveying dormice in Brampton Wood for nearly 30 years after their reintroduction, the first place in the UK this took place. Local Wildlife asked him about his involvement in the project.

Beacon of woodland renewal in Bedfordshire

Hay Wood’s renewal is rooted in community spirit. Where football pitches once stood now grow hornbeam, oak, hazel, rowan, hawthorn and birch trees, thanks to Wilder Futures, Wilder Luton, and TCV’s “I Dig Trees” initiatives.

Reprofiling woodland rides

A recent trial looking to reprofile woodland rides is proving effective, helping water drain away rather than puddling the middle of paths
