I really loved listening to this podcast. There’s something very special about the way it brings people, places and nature together. It made me slow down and see Melbourne’s natural spaces with new eyes, and reminded me how much beauty and life can exist around us without us even noticing. The stories feel warm and genuine, and the sounds of nature make you feel like you’re walking there alongside them. It left me feeling more connected to Melbourne and its natural world.

I am SO excited about this podcast - such a wonderful format for both letting people in to garner some level of experience/encounter with place and to understand the fragments of biodiverse ecologies we currently have in place, and how they have been documented, regenerated and/or looked after. Importantly, this is creating a valuable oral record of some seriously significant histories. Beautifully produced. It feels like a gift. Thank you so much.
