13. The lost world...
<p>NatureScot woodland champion Kate Holl and I head for an extraordinary lost world on an island, off an island, off the west coast of Scotland. A little extra for the faithful followers of the podcast... and great fun to make. Windy though!</p><p>We took this trip a while back but Kate is still at it with NatureScot flying the flag for woodland restoration.</p><br /><hr><p style='color:grey; font-size:0.75em;'> Hosted on Acast.

12: Scourge of the Parks
<p>This week I have had the pleasure of a half an hour or so in the company of Nick Kempe. He's a blogger, campaigner - and one of the nicest obsessives you could hope to meet! He helped create our access laws, was on the board of SNH and now holds our national parks to account.</p><p>Fine out if he believes:</p><ul><li>The access laws need revision</li><li>"King" Charles should change his behaviour</li><li>Social work helps your campaigning</li><li>We need to invest in tourism</li><li>Rogue landowners should be taken to task</li><li>His large dossier on the Loch Lomond park needs attention...!</li></ul><p>Can you guess which answer is no!? I'll almost certainly come back to Nick in the next podcast series. Meanwhile sign up, follow, subscribe and give me feedback - it is a pleasure to do this work and to know that it's valued by so many people. Find me on Facebook, Linkedin, X (@ScotNatureCorr), Instagram...</p><p><em>Music created for this podcast by Nottingham's own Rob Baynes https://www.facebook.com/Beeeaaanz/ - hit him up if you want your own specially created music!</em></p><br /><hr><p style='color:grey; font-size:0.75em;'> Hosted on Acast.

11: Conservation with a difference...
<p>We're taking a different tack this week with a senior representative of an organisation that has its roots in the world of hunting, shooting and fishing. Rory Kennedy was a lad with a fly rod and a ferret, and now he's the head of the Game and Wildlife Conservation Trust in Scotland. His views on some issues might surprise you... he tells me:</p><p><br></p><ul><li>How lynx might be a gateway to restoring the wolf</li><li>Why recovering pine marten might have to be culled to save another species</li><li>Why nature recovery needs to be on a landscape scale, not just nature reserves</li></ul><p><br></p><p>And he tells me that grouse moors, so hated by conventional conservationists, are actually bastions of biodiversity. Is he right?</p><br><p>I'd love to hear your views, get me on Twitter/X where I'm @ScotNatureCorr, and on Facebook, LinkedIn and Instagram. Give it a follow, subscribe... give it a share... Even if you don't agree with Rory, his are views that have been given a lot of thought.</p><br><p><em>Music created for this podcast by Nottingham's own Rob Baynes https://www.facebook.com/Beeeaaanz/ - hit him up if you want your own specially created music!</em></p><br /><hr><p style='color:grey; font-size:0.75em;'> Hosted on Acast.
