How far would you go to help nature? Would you walk naked through the streets of London (in autumn) to highlight the declining population of Swifts in Britain? My Naturespace with Haith’s guest did and she has in mind what could be one relatively simple solution to help save Swifts from disappearing.  Nature writer and campaigner Hannah Bourne-Taylor hit the headlines this autumn (5th November) when she strolled naked from Hyde Park Corner to the Houses of Parliament and Downing Street to…

Introducing Naturespace with Haith’s

I’m Simon King and this is Naturespace with Haith’s – a new podcast from a bird food company that’s on a mission to make a positive difference for nature.

The natural world is infinite: the animals, rivers and oceans, the food we consume, even the rainwater that irrigates crops and the air we breathe. However, the natural world is on its back foot… (we watch David Attenborough too!)….
