A landscape thousands of years in the making, facing an uncertain future.
Britain’s uplands and the peat beneath it form one of the most unique, valuable and vulnerable ecosystems in the world.
Between ambitious tree planting targets, wind farm construction and efforts to restore damaged peatland, the British Uplands Podcast sees conservation journalists Byron Pace and Sarah Roberts explore the conflict between these difficult choices.
This is not a sit-down studio interview podcast. Over the coming weeks we’ll join Byron and Sarah as they travel the country and get out on the hills meeting guests ranging from soil scientists, ecologists and rewilding enthusiasts to game keepers, chefs, crofters and deer managers.
Episode one of six to be released weekly.
