How to Grow a Forest
Episode 83
Monday, 28 July, 2025

What happens when a country decides to plant a forest not out in the wilderness, but right where people live? Between Bristol, Bath and the Mendips, a quiet experiment is beginning: 20 million trees, planted through city streets, schoolyards, and farmland. Not a single woodland, but a patchwork – a forest you live inside without ever needing to visit. In this episode, we look at the Western Forest – how it started, what it hopes to become, and why planting trees you’ll never sit beneath might be the most human thing of all. A story about time, care, and the long, slow optimism of letting something grow. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.
