Calling the curlew podcast: farming with nature in the uplands

By Kerryanne Higgens, Community Engagement Officer

In this podcast, year nine students from Teesdale School and Sixth Form visit Herdship Farm in Harwood-in-Teesdale interviewing farmer, Paul Johnson, to find out how the farm is managed to support nature. Charlie Parker talks about his farm in Baldersdale, and how he has worked closely with the North Pennines National Landscape farm and nature officers, as part of the Tees-Swale project, to do nature recovery work creating scrapes to support the upland birdlife on his farm.
