Kent Wildlife Trust have teamed up with Rob Smith, previously co-anchor on the BBC South East Today news programme, to bring you an audio feast. This brand-new podcast will lift you out of your eco-anxiety and give you a tour of the heroes and heroines bringing nature back from the brink. Rob will visit farms, nature reserves, councils, labs, gardens, schools and businesses who are making a difference in their communities. Join us today, to take a Talk on the Wild Side.
