About this listen

Coming to the end of the summer holidays, keeping the family entertained at home is a tricky task at the best of times: but this year is likely proving a little more so than usual.


Providing the perfect opportunity to get outdoors, both now during the summer and all year round, Berkeley is launching a brand-new podcast, Bringing Nature Home. In this series, we’ll be exploring the wonderful natural world on our doorstep in Kent, the Garden of England, renowned for its picturesque open countryside and vast areas of outstanding natural beauty.


We’re here to help you enjoy the best of what this gorgeous county has to offer, with fun activities for the whole family, providing inspiration for bringing the great outdoors closer to home.


Experts across the South East will be offering a host of ideas, tips and handy guides on how to make the most of Kent’s ecology through guided walks, food, arts and crafts, as well as advice on how you can do your bit to help the local wildlife flourish.


We’d love to see the ways you’re getting involved with nature. Send us your photos, drawings, videos – anything that shows you enjoying wildlife where you are. Share on social media, using the hashtag #BerkeleyBringingNatureHome.

    Birdwatching has joined the list of the nation’s favourite pastimes. According to The Royal Society for the Protection of Birds (RSPB), higher numbers of Brits are now keen to learn more about various bird species and ways of identifying them, as well as feeding and providing them with suitable homes.


    This winter, Berkeley is joined once again by Kent Wildlife Trust ecologist Marie Dipple, who will explain how to spot different types of birds by their flying pattern, habitat and song, as well as offering some guidance on what can be done to help the birds mid-season.


    If you're joining in with the RSPB's Big School's Birdwatch 2021, this could be a handy guide to teach you to identify your local feathered friends.
