In this final episode of Broadly Speaking, the focus turns to how we relate to wetlands: emotionally, culturally, and practically. Through stories of species recovery, farming adaptation and landscape history, Andrea Kelly explores what it really means to live with water in a place shaped by centuries of human intervention.
From swallowtail butterflies and bitterns, to farmers managing peat grazing marshes, to writers helping us see wetlands differently, this episode reflects on the hopes of those who's daily lives are embedded in this special landscape.

Description

Funded by Defra, the Broads Authority is building a peatland community to confront one of the region’s most urgent climate challenges: reducing greenhouse gas emissions from 2,000 hectares of drained peat soils. Through the Broads Peat Partnership, action is underway across the Broads, and this podcast forms a key part of that engagement work. In each episode, Andrea Kelly—who has worked in the Broads for over 30 years—speaks with farmers, landowners, water managers and authors to capture diverse perspectives and explore real-world solutions.
