32: Rupert Lowe’s dog and the tree planting conundrum

Social media recently flew into outrage at one man's decision - we talk about perceptions of rural life as viewed through the media, should it only show the highlights or is it better to provide a balanced view of life in the countryside?

Callum has also been working with his suspiciously ChatGPT like glamourous assistant to devise a better tree planting scheme which takes into account life after planting and right species in the right place.


CountrySlide is a podcast that looks at farming, conservation and life in the British countryside.
