A bonus unreleased conversation from Harry Barton's episode of the podcast. Here Harry, the chief executive of the Devon Wildlife Trust, takes David Oakes to the picturesque River Otter Valley in Devon. Listen as Harry debunks myths about the beavers that call the river their home, discusses the positive effect they have on waterways, and explains how flowing water can cause them stress. With the background sounds of the river, this is a relaxing and informative conversation you’ll be ‘dammed’ foolish not to listen to!

An excerpt from my conversation with Bryce to follow the special episode on Oyster Reefs. In this episode we discuss how British fisheries have been affected by COVID-19, and how a slight realignment on how we source fish could help support an industry and ecosystem in turmoil.

The Trees a Crowd podcast is a series of informal conversations with artists, scientists and enthusiasts; a mutual celebration of the beauty of the environment and the way it inspires them as human beings. Hosted by artist and actor David Oakes, each episode explores how the countryside has inspired their careers as they reflect on how growing up within the natural world became working for the natural world. Growing up in the New Forest and the Purbeck Jurassic Coast, David Oakes launched this podcast as a passion project to explore his lifelong fascination with the wild people and the wildlife that makes our planet its home.
