Into The Foliage: Rare Plants & Disappearing Habitats with Gus Routledge

It's not secret that the biodiversity of the UK (and the rest of the planet) is in deep deep trouble, but how often do we consider the plants in this? What kind of plants are rare in England, Scotland & Wales? What plants have we lost? And quite simply, why? On this episode I (because Jan is not well at the moment GET WELL JAN) talk with ecologist in the highlands of Scotland, Gus Routledge. Not only do we discuss rare plants, we also talk about why certain habitats are in trouble, what habitats we have lost & is it possible to bring these back.
