Tim and Fleur talk with Lancashire Wildlife Trust Volunteer Reserve Manager, Noell Leather...

Noell took on the management of Summerseat Nature Reserve over 40 years ago. The conversation covers what the Wildlife Trust was like back then and the joys and challenges of having your own nature reserve to manage.
