Wistow Wood really is a wonderful place, full of weird and wonderful coppice stools, the problems of ash dieback and a lot of innovation and experimentation for how best to ensure the resilience of these irreplaceable habitats. Listen to the latest episode of In Conservation to find out how we're working to look after ancient woodlands and just what it is that makes them such special places for wildlife - and for people.
