Wild Voices | Trees for Tomorrow

Join National Trust ranger Ajay Tegala in conversation with Zoe Hill, the National Trust’s first-ever Tree Nursery Officer. Zoe offers a fascinating insight into what it takes to grow climate-resilient trees for future generations, from caring for 50,000 young saplings to helping them thrive in an increasingly challenging climate. She also shares practical tips for growing and caring for trees in your own garden. Together, Zoe and Ajay look ahead to the British landscape of 50 years’ time, exploring how the trees we plant today could shape the future of our countryside, and the vital role they can play in tackling climate change.  Watch a video of this podcast on the National Trust’s YouTube: https://youtu.be/BrAcTeGQKJwProduction Host: Ajay Tegala Producer: Pippa Tilbury-Harris Sound: Jesus Gomez Contributor: Zoe Hill  Discover more: If you’d like to visit Holnicote, you can find out more here:   https://www.nationaltrust.org.uk/visit/somerset/countryside-woodland/explore-holnicote-estate  Follow us on Instagram @wildtalesnt If you'd like to get in touch with feedback, or have a story connected with the National Trust, you can contact us at podcasts@nationaltrust.org.uk
