Hello and welcome to this week's Wildlife Matters podcast.

In this week's episode, we are embarking on an exhilarating mission that will take us all around the UK as we strive to uncover Britain’s rarest woodland wild plants. The thrill of the plant hunt is palpable, and we can't wait to share our discoveries with you.

In this week's Wildlife Matters Mindful Moments, our journey is also guided by the breathtaking beauty of a spring morning. We invite you to immerse yourself in the tranquillity of nature as we share this poetic experience with you.

But first, let's head to the news desk for the latest wildlife stories to share with you on this week’s Wildlife Matters nature news.

I hope you enjoyed our adventure to find—or not find —some of the rarest wild plants in the UK.

We want to try different things on the Wildlife Matters podcast, and it would be good to know if you enjoyed the walk-and-talk type of storytelling. Please let us know in the comments or drop us an email at info@wildlife-matters.org

We have received excellent feedback on Matt Somerville's wild honeybee work at the Maple Farm rewilding project. Many of you, like us, were not aware of natural beekeeping.

We will return to the Maple Farm Rewilding project in the future and plan to share more about wildlife and nature projects or work that is a little different with you very soon.

If you have or are working on a project that you think would be of interest to our community, please let us know by emailing us the address once again is info@wildlife-matters.org

We are truly grateful for your support. As we wrap up, we encourage you to like, subscribe, and leave us a comment wherever you get your podcasts. Your feedback is invaluable to us.
