Wayward Wanderings

A rewilded valley, a returning herd, and a community finding new roots—come with Wander Woman Phoebe Smith to Portugal’s Côa Valley where tauros and sorraia horses are reshaping the land and jumpstarting local livelihoods. Join her as she learns how large herbivores create healthier mosaic habitats that reduce wildfire risk, boost biodiversity, and draw back predators like wolves, and listen in as she meets the people turning these ecological wins into sustainable nature-based tourism.Also coming up:Right to Roam campaigner Guy Shrubsole on access rights and Britain's RainforestsTravel Hack: How to find a legit re-wilding projectTop 10 Rewilding projects around the world and where to visit themMeet travel writers and authors Rhona Carrier and Tracey Davies as they discuss their memoir Wayward Women - and how mid-life women are a force to be reckoned withGear chat: what to pack for a responsible wild campFlorence Merriam Bailey - a birdwatcher who had to persuade others to look but don't shoot (yes, really) is our Wander Woman of the MonthContact Wander Womanwww.Phoebe-Smith.com; @PhoebeRSmith
