About this listen
Hi there, if you are enjoying the podcasts, please let us know. We’d also love to hear your thoughts on these podcasts in Season 1, but also any topics you’d like to see in future episodes in Season 2.
We visit North Cave Wetlands to see how a former quarry is becoming a thriving reserve and how volunteering can restore both landscapes and a sense of purpose. Marie from Yorkshire Wildlife Trust and Emma, a long-time volunteer, share roles, training, and stories that make getting involved easy and rewarding.
