The Remarkable Nature Comeback of Wild Ken Hill
In this episode we head to Wild Ken Hill, located on the north-west coast of Norfolk, a place where bold nature restoration meets innovative regenerative farming.
This project is a vibrant mosaic of grasslands, woodlands, wetlands, and organic farmland, creating a diverse haven for the wildlife that now thrives within it.
In the summer of 2022, disaster struck as a fire tore through 80 acres of this rich habitat, threatening to unravel years of progress.
But like a phoenix rising from the ashes, founder Dom Buscall, who I meet in this episode, has led an extraordinary recovery. And today, the project stands stronger and more resilient than ever.
