Having been working to protect Scotland’s wildlife for 60 years, we’ve a few stories to tell!
Join hosts Ed and Rachel as they explore the stories of the Trust’s past, present and future, travelling the length of Scotland to give you an insight into saving Scotland’s wildlife like never before.
Over seven episodes, our Words of the Wild podcast features staff and volunteers who provide on-the-ground updates from our projects, tell the stories of some of our reserves and discuss some of the biggest challenges that Scotland’s wildlife is facing today, as well as looking back at some of our most significant milestones.
Episode one
In the first episode, we talk to the Chief Executive, Jo Pike, about the early years of the Scottish Wildlife Trust. We also explore the Coigach and Assynt Living Landscape, one of the largest landscape-scale projects in Europe and head to Loch of the Lowes where the Trust’s Chair, Kenny Taylor, chats to some of our volunteers about their work with ospreys, beavers and the other wildlife on the loch.
Coming up in episode two…
Ed and Rachel head to the woods, hearing from some of the people involved in the Riverwoods initiative. They take a look back at the landmark Scottish Beaver Trial and the important impact beavers continue to have in Scotland today. And they head north to hear some of the stories of Ben Mor Coigach, the Trust’s largest reserve, where the Trust’s Chair, Kenny Taylor, explores how local people are connected to the land.
