In this special bonus episode of All Nature, from the Carbon Copy Podcast, we meet Gnisha Bevan. Gnisha and co-founder Roger Griffith, MBE started the Black Seeds Network around five years ago to provide a platform for environmentalists of colour to socialise, gain support, seek opportunities, develop innovation, knowledge and expertise on environmental issues. Now, the network has joined with partners including Friends of the Earth to create a year-long programme of events and activities called âNature Rising.â We met Gnisha via the team at the West of England Combined Authority, who have proved some funding for the Nature Rising programme and suggested we might like to learn more about the Black Seeds Network.
Originally recorded for All Nature, Episode 4; the conversation was so interesting and engaging we decided to create this bonus episode to give you, the listeners, more of the story.

In this episode of the Carbon Copy Podcastâs All Nature series, we discover the ambitious work of the West of England Combined Authority (WECA), which hopes to make the region the UK Pollinator Capital by 2030. We hear from Sophie Spencer, Senior Environment Manager at WECA about why nature recovery and, in particular, pollinators, are such an important focus for the organisation. We learn about the Bee Bold Awards, a unique annual celebration of local groups and businesses that are doing something special for nature and we hear from some of the organisations that have received support as part of WECAâs pollinator programme: Co-forest, Middle Ground Growers, Black Seeds Network, St. Peterâs Hospice and Really Wild Lockleaze.
âWe've invested over 10 million in nature in the West of England in total. From the tiniest little pocket park, to big nature recovery projects at landscape scale. It's been really exciting, but at the same time, we know that nature needs a lot more investment. So, we've been talking to businesses, helping them understand their impacts on nature, and hoping to drive more investment into the West of England so we can achieve our ambitions. We can't do it on our own. It's about us working togetherâ- Sophie Spencer
Listen, to learn:
About the wide range of different organisations that have received Bee Bold Awards and why supporting pollinators is important to them. More about the different environments that can support pollinator numbers â in towns, cities and in more rural settings. How WECA is working with organisations to support community engagement and to promote inclusion in nature recovery projects.----------------------------------------------

In this episode of All Nature, from the Carbon Copy Podcast, we hear from two community organisations selected as part of the Nature Neighbourhoods programme. In Edinburgh, we meet the founders and participants in Granton Community Gardeners, a charity helping to improve access to fresh food and green space, which attracts people from a huge range of backgrounds, ages and nationalities. In Leeds we discover the Lincoln Greeners group, a weekly gardening group run by community arts organisation Mawfa Theatre. We learn how growing together is helping to overcome social isolation and is helping wellbeing for both volunteers and participants. We also speak to Nature Neighbourhoods Programme Manager Rory Crawford, of the National Trust, to understand more about how the initiative came to be, and the aims and aspirations for the three major nature organisations that lead the programme: National Trust, RSPB and WWF-UK.
Listen to learn:
Why nature conservation doesnât need to be the primary focus for urban gardening and growing projects to be beneficial. How the Nature Neighbourhoods programme is empowering and supporting community organisations to keep doing what they do best at a local level. What keeps participants and volunteers coming back to these inspiring projects every week. How local and grassroots projects can still have a massive impact.-----------------------------------------------------------

The impacts of climate change are wide-ranging, but here in the UK, where none of us lives more than 70 miles from the sea, bigger winter storms, heavy rain and increased wave power create serious coastal flooding risks for huge numbers of people. In the North East of England, an innovative partnership of organisations, led by South Tyneside Council, is working on a programme of work exploring natural solutions to reducing this flood risk. In this episode of the Carbon Copy Podcast, we meet Karen Daglish, Delivery Manager at the Stronger Shores programme, to learn more about this inspiring, collaborative initiative. We also meet Judy Power, Project Manager at Tees Rivers Trust, one of the partner organisations working with the programme, and learn about the incredible, painstaking work theyâre doing grow and protect seagrass and wild oysters in the Tees Estuary.
Listen to learn about:
The long-term goals and ambition of the Stronger Shores programme. The amazing potential of wild oysters to filter water and sequester carbon. The reason that seagrass is such an important species â and why it is under threat. How engagement activities across the North East are helping more people locally to appreciate and understand the natural species on their shores.--------------------------------------------------------------

In this, the first episode of the Carbon Copy Podcastâs latest series, All Nature, we meet Jan Stannard and Dan Hill, of charity Heal Rewilding, at their first site on the outskirts of Frome in Somerset. We reveal the worrying state of nature in the UK, and how Jan and her colleagues felt compelled to address this. We discover the huge ambition of Heal Rewilding to create nature rich environments in every county of England, and we hear about the amazing network of different people and organisations working to renew and restore nature across the UK.
"...the only way for nature to recover is for it to have more room, more space dedicated to it. It can't just be the edges of farmland, but dedicated spaces that are new are fundamental to nature's recovery. What we have to remember is England, out of 240 countries and territories in the world, England is in 234th place where one is best. So the state of nature in England is absolutely on the floor. This can't happen soon enough." - Jan Stannard, Heal Co-Founder

Either ones to help or, [people saying] âYes, oh my goodness, I want this because I've got X, Y, and Z and I'd love someone to help me fix it.â âSo, you know, I couldn't then not make it happen!â- Clare Seek, Share (Portsmouth)

âIâm 62 and it seems that our generation really had a bit of a party. You know, [sustainability] wasnât that big an issue⊠Weâve had a great time, and now the generation that are running out of time have got five years basically to make a significant difference to the trajectory. Otherwise, theyâre going to be living in a depleted world⊠ââŠWe had the party, but weâre expecting them to get in the kitchen and clean up afterwards, and actually, Iâm surprised theyâre not more frustrated or more angry than they are because this is their lives and their kidsâ lives. So we have a duty to make this an issue, to listen to them and help them tell the story and get the message across.â- Lord Victor Adebowale

In this episode of the Carbon Copy Podcast Running Out of Time special, we join the relay as it makes its way through London. We reconnect with Ivo Gormley, founder and CEO of GoodGym, after he and a group of lively GoodGymmers have carried the baton all the way from Parliament Hill in North-West London, to the Southbank Centre in Southwark. We speak to Emma Nutland, Arts and Wellbeing Manager at the venue, and learn about the incredible rooftop garden there, which has been growing for over a decade thanks to the care and dedication of Paul Pulford and his project Grounded Ecotherapy. And we meet Paul himself who tells us a bit more about his journey from addiction struggles to star-gardener at the UKâs largest arts centre.
Listen to learn more about the amazing impact that this urban-greening initiative is having on all those involved.

âIf we don't protect these spaces, our sports are at risk. Our triathlons, our marathons, whatever it may be: that outdoor sport would be at risk as we go forward... Green space is becoming a premium and it shouldn't be. It should be something that every person has an entitlement to.â- Bill Downie, Streetly Academy
âWe're really hopeful that it will be a real memorable thing for (the children), and help them promote their views on climate, but also obviously then have an impact on their families as wellâ- Matt Clayton, Child Friendly Cov
