New nature podcast
Co-hosted by local farmer Tim and nature podcaster Lizzie, Down in Dorset is a new Second Nature series all about delivering local food alongside nature recovery.
You can also find the podcast on your favourite streaming platform.
Dorset is known for its natural beauty and is home to lots of nature areas with a variety of wildlife. But over the years the amount and variety of wildlife has reduced and many areas for nature have been split up or lost.
Nature Recovery Dorset is a movement to restore, enhance and connect spaces for nature in our county. It has been collectively created to help bring together and drive forward action to recover nature and create a more wildlife-rich county.
This work is being coordinated with the help of Bournemouth, Christchurch and Poole (BCP) Council and a wide range of local people and organisations.
Making space for nature benefits both wildlife and people. It can help to:
- reduce the risk of flooding
- improve water quality
- support healthier, more sustainable food production
- bring communities together
- tackle climate change
- create more opportunities to spend time in nature-rich spaces that support health and wellbeing
