‘Shortcasts’ are short standalone audio comments and statements from conservationists, campaigners, charities, authors and members of our audience. If it needs to be said – say it here!

A shortcast from author and field naturalist Joe Gray. Joe talks about the importance of ethics in conservation and reads a short extract from his just-published novel, 'The Gardens of Greenspring Road'. Author royalties from this and Joe's previous book, 'Thirteen Paces by Four', are being donated to the World Land Trust.
