Episode description
Pete catches up with Lee Schofield, author of Wild Fell, at RSPB Haweswater where Lee leads a team managing an amazing complex of habitats from wetland to woodland from fields with sheep grazing to upland fells with native breed cattle.
Lee discusses the fascinating flora, fauna and fungi within the nature reserve, and the methods used by his team to support this important and thriving habitat.
The pair also reflect on the difficulties facing upland farms, plus how diversification and simple changes can offer a huge benefit to farming businesses and wildlife.
