Ranger Rae and the Wildlifers | National Trust Kids' Podcast

Roxy and Bat have got lost on a hike through the Severn Valley, but they're determined to find their own way home without relying on calling “awooo” for help.
Along the riverbank they meet a number of animals who give tips on navigation, before a startled Arctic tern crash-lands with an urgent request of their own.
Can Roxy and Bat find their way home, and will they be able to help the Arctic tern too?

Over on Lundy Island, a flustered Pygmy Shrew needs a bit of help finishing the annual count of the island's rare wild cabbages.
That would be easy enough if it weren’t for a feral goat who keeps throwing the numbers into chaos.
Don’t worry, Ranger Rae and the Wildlifers are ready to lend a hand, and an old friend shows up too. Will they manage to get an accurate final count?

In gardens across the Northeast, a hungry hedgehog keeps hitting dead ends! Fences are blocking every route on their nightly forage for food.
This seems like the ideal job for nocturnal Wildlifers Bat and Fox, along with Ranger Rae and Roxy.
Will they link up enough gardens to get a proper highway for the hedgehog to get around?
