The Wild Work Podcast

We captured some of the thoughts about Wild Work from people involved with the initiative.

In Part 3 Will and Amanda talk about how Wild Work connects people together across all sectors to make biodiversity action happen from the bottom up. And how the Wild Work movement supports everyone else's efforts; by connecting everyone involved in helping nature and encouraging best-practice approaches.

In the third episode of our student placement podcast series, Rachel Hayden talks about her project with Wild Work on carbon sequestration and amenity grassland management. Rachel's project looks at the research into how we can manage our garden lawns and public green spaces in a way that captures carbon and promotes biodiversity.

The conversation extends to the difficulties of communicating the science of climate change, and science in general, and the necessity of balancing the urgency of the message with one of hope and practical, positive action.
