If you’re a regular listener of The Wildlife Explorer podcast, you’ll know that we wrapped up season one back in October with our ‘Autumn Arrivals’ episode full of stories about our magnificent migrant birds, fascinating fungi and what’s happening in nature throughout the season.

However, we couldn’t finish the year without thanking you – our wonderful supporters. So, we thought we would add in a bonus ‘end of year special’ episode to revisit some of the projects we have been working on for wildlife this year, and see what has happened across the county since the projects were last featured.

As it’s a festive time of the year for many, we thought we would also take a look at some of our seasonal traditions – why we decorate trees at Christmas time and the stories and folklore around some of our familiar plants such as mistletoe and ivy.

Thank you for all your support this year, enjoy celebrating and we will see you again March for Season 2.
