Andy Byfield discusses the conservation of wild flowers and the work of Plant Life
Aug 19, 2021 Season 1 Episode 13
Dr Will Liddell

Andy Byfield has a long-standing interest in botany, including the flowering plants traditionally associated with arable farming, some of which have become very scarce due to changes in agricultural practices. He has been involved in botanical research and conservation for many years and helped found the charity Plant Life. Recent years have seen increasing interest in our native flora and measures such as the restoration of  wild flower meadows and changes in the management of roadside verges to allow species to flower and shed seed.
Sound engineer: Rob Wynne-Griffiths.
