In episode 10 of Talk on the Wild Side, Rob Smith spends a day at Moat Farm for a Healthy Hedgerows workshop. He speaks to a self-confessed hedge geek, a hedgelaying expert and conservationist, a local landowner, and the host of the workshop.

Our Wildlife Ark sites play a crucial role in supporting diverse wildlife, acting as vital sanctuaries where various species can thrive. While these areas may not always offer extensive public access, they are carefully managed to preserve their ecological significance and enhance the natural habitat. These sites are integral components of the broader landscape, contributing to overall biodiversity and the health of the ecosystem. Each Wildlife Ark serves as a testament to our commitment to conservation, ensuring that both wildlife and the environment are safeguarded for future generations.

These hidden gems experience low public pressure and, in some cases, may have no public access at all. These sites prioritise wildlife over public recreation and showcase excellent habitat management practices. Many of them exemplify our "wilding" principles, which focus on restoring natural processes and healthy ecological functions, allowing nature to thrive without human intervention.
