In today’s programme • We hear about the Dorset Beach survey which aims to find out what beach visitors and users think about the county’s beaches: what facilities there are, the cleanliness of the beach and the water, and what they visit the beaches for • Ecologist Simon Ford, who’s a member of the Swifts Over Sherborne group talks about drones and their potential for disturbance for wildlife, or indeed their positive side in conducting aerial surveys, etc • Financier and rewilding guru Ben Goldsmith (brother of Zac and of Jemima Khan) explains his interpretation of rewilding, and applies it to his farm near Stourhead • And entomologist Dr. Philip Donkersley talks about how valuable “No Mow May” is for insects, etc., and encourages us all not to mow our lawns entirely.
