The content will focus on nature and the environment, bringing together experts for meaningful conversations, and offering inspiration on simple, accessible ways to take action.
Hosted by gardener and author Amy Chapman and broadcaster and nature enthusiast Katrina Ridley, the first season of the Connect to Nature podcast is sponsored by Woodland Trust and explores how to look after ourselves and the planet.
Across eight episodes, guests will discuss topics including discovering wild places, rewilding responsibly, challenging fast fashion, embracing technology, easing ecoanxiety, and how creativity and music can help people reconnect with the wild.
Ben Youatt, Head of Podcasts, Immediate commented: “Connect to Nature is a space where curiosity, creativity, and environmental awareness meet. This series brings together inspiring voices who are reimagining how we interact with the natural world, and we’re thrilled to share these conversations with a new generation of naturelovers.”
Podcast guests include wildlife biologist Liz Bonnin, ornithologist Dr MyaRose Craig, and wildlife TV presenter, author, activist and co-founder of a birdwatching collective, Nadeem Perera, alongside other passionate voices from across the environmental and creative communities.
Amy Chapman added: “Nature feels more important than ever, but it can also feel overwhelming to know where to start. What I love about Connect to Nature is how practical and uplifting it is - it’s about small, meaningful steps that help people feel more grounded, hopeful and connected in their everyday lives.”
Katrina Ridley said: “I’m so excited to launch Connect to Nature! We’ve had some incredible conversations in this series, talking about everything from exploring wild places to talking honestly about ecoanxiety. My hope is that listeners come away feeling empowered, informed and inspired to build their own relationship with the natural world, in whatever way feels right for them.”
