The Right to Roam

Season 1 · Episode 6

Wednesday, April 14, 2021 • Duration 23:13

Welcome to episode 6 of the Countryside Voices podcast!

In this episode we're looking at rights - our rights to access the English countryside.

Why do we only have a right to roam over a tiny percentage of our country, and what needs to happen to expand these rights?

We also look at the government's controversial proposals to criminalise trespass, and how that could affect access to the countryside.

Joining our host, Jamie Wyver, is campaigner and author of Who Owns England?, Guy Shrubsole, and CPRE campaigner Emma Marrington.

What even is the planning system, anyway?

Season 1 · Episode 5

Wednesday, December 16, 2020 • Duration 27:28

Welcome to episode 5 of the Countryside Voices podcast!

In this episode, we're talking about something that affects all of us: the planning system.

What is it, and why does it matter? First, we take a look at the history, then the power that planning process gives us as citizens to shape our local area and safeguard nature, and finally, the serious threat posed by the government's damaging proposals to deregulate the planning system.

Our host Jamie Wyver is joined by Hugh Ellis, director of policy at the Town and Country Planning Association, Madeleine Gohin, planning officer at CPRE, and Naomi Luhde-Thompson, chief planner at Friends of the Earth.

Countryside Wellbeing

Season 1 · Episode 4

Wednesday, September 30, 2020 • Duration 24:53

Welcome to episode 4 of the Countryside Voices podcast!

In this episode, we talk about the health and wellbeing benefits of spending time in the countryside and nature. It's well-established that spending time in nature is good for us, but is all time spent in nature equal, or does it matter what we do while we're in nature?

And how can we make sure more people can experience these benefits?

We explore these fascinating questions with Professor Jules Pretty from the University of Essex, poet, writer and artist Dr Sheree Mack, and CPRE's Campaigns Manager Maddy Haughton-Boakes, hosted by Jamie Wyver.

Counting stars

Season 1 · Episode 1

Friday, May 22, 2020 • Duration 26:40

Welcome to the first episode of the brand new Countryside Voices Podcast, from CPRE, the countryside charity.

A beautiful starry sky is one of the magical sights the countryside can offer. But light pollution stops many of us from seeing the stars, and it also has a big impact on wildlife.

We talk with Emma Marrington, CPRE's starry sky expert, about the results from our annual Star Count and can be done to reclaim our dark skies.

We also explore the fascinating world of bats, with Joanna Ferguson from the Bat Conservation Trust.
