Rewilding – with Poppy Okotcha

“It is a bit like meditation. It's spending 10 minutes in a day, blotting out the sounds of the human hubbub, and eventually you start hearing the natural sounds”  Instead of looking at a problem that needs fixing, this month Call of the Wild looks at something that can make a real change for good. Rewilding. It’s all about bringing back the wilderness we have lost and how that can have a huge positive impact on our environment.  In this episode, actor and WWF ambassador Cel Spellman explores how we can rewild from our doorstep with the help from David Lindo (aka the Urban Birder), Isabella Tree from Knepp Wildland, and former model, trained horticulturist and regenerative grower Poppy Okotcha. They explore what it means to “rewild”, the benefits that has on our natural world, especially for our pollinators and soil, and the simple steps to get you started.  Join the conversation on social media using #CallOfTheWild, and follow or subscribe now so you never miss an episode.  See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
