Description

Why is it that being close to water makes us feel so much better? We travel to the water’s edge to understand more, meeting people whose lives have been profoundly changed by its effects. We hear from experts in nature prescribing who offer practical tips for improving our wellbeing, and we learn about the emerging science that reveals just how essential water is for our minds as well as our bodies. 
Featuring: Fashion designer Savannah Miller and Sarah Guise (The Rewild Swim Club), Dr. Lewis Elliott and Dr Jo Garrett (European Centre for the Environment and Human Health), Will Freeman (Health and Wellbeing Officer, WWT) and Ceri-Louise (Psychotherapist and Mindfulness Practitioner, WWT). Presented by Roxy Furman.

Immerse yourself in the sounds of the riverbank, crashing tides, wild marshes filled with birds and the underwater sounds of the humble pond as we bring to life our incredible wetlands - and reveal their power to shape our future for the better. Join zoologist and wildlife presenter Megan McCubbin as she explores the wonders of our watery worlds and how wetlands have fed, inspired and transported us from countryside to city, source to sea.  Our wetlands bring us together across species and continents. They’re the source of life as we know it. Yet wetlands only cover about 6% of our planet, and they’re disappearing fast, despite the fact that people and 40% of all wildlife are reliant on them.  This is a podcast all about the wonderful, sometimes surprising and often underappreciated watery places around us, and how they can help us with some of the biggest issues facing life on this planet. ​  You’ll never look at a marsh or pond the same way again.
