For this emergency episode Ben is joined by a panel to discuss wild fires and how land management can help
Summer wildfires are happening all over the UK, France, Spain, Europe and the rest of the world. Can anything be done to prevent or manage them? In this emergency podcast episode Ben is joined by Alex Crawley (Director, Grazing Management Ltd), Michael Priestley (Policy Manager, National Sheep Association), Craig Hope (National Resilience Wildfire Capability Advisor for the National Fire Chiefs Council) and Emma Douglas (grazier from the Gower Peninsula in south Wales) to debate whether grazing or rewilding parts of the landscape could be part of the solution in the uplands. We also hear from Eleanor Gilbert (Berkshire farmer; 'aka Berkshire Farm Girl') about an experience with fire she had recently while harvesting in Berkshire.
