Walking along the muddy tracks of the River Ouse near her home a few days ago, Rebecca Stott reflects on migration. She contemplates the lives of the Canada geese that frequently fly over her home, as well as Aristotle's own studies of bird migration - and his extraordinary life as a migrant - while considering the historic links between the migration of people and human progress.

Martha Kearney follows the River Ouse, from the High Weald to the Sussex coast and - finally - into the sea itself. Along the way, she discovers how one of the UK's largest nature recovery projects is taking root. The project is called 'Weald to Waves' - it's a wildlife corridor that has been mapped out over more than 100 miles of Sussex landscape and coastline, to encourage biodiversity on a huge scale, connecting food, farming, nature and people. Encompassing more than 20,000 hectares of contiguous habitat, it is a huge coming-together of farmers, land managers, councils, utility companies, wildlife charities, schools, gardeners and community groups. Martha meets some of the people who have pledged to be a part of this huge collaborative effort.Producer: Becky Ripley

Every Saturday, we revisit a story from the archives. This originally aired on May 25th, 2023. None of the references from that time have been changed. English rivers are polluted. Could giving them legal rights clean them up? In the town of Lewes, the answer to that question was yes. In February, the town's council voted yes to a rights of river motion, the first in the UK. This motion is the first step in a two-year long journey to give the River Ouse legal representation and rights. The UK is facing heavy river pollution: most of them are not swimmable, and all failed a quality test in 2019. Since then, government testing of rivers has only plummeted. Lewes' council now takes on the task of figuring out what exactly rights of a river should be.  In this episode: Matthew Bird (@mjbirdy), mayor and former councillor of Lewes  Episode credits: This episode was updated by Sarí el-Khalili.

Situated on the River Ouse, this magnificent building which dates from 1445 has played host to a cast of famous characters from the history of Britain including notable royals and criminals. It's long and colourful history has left left its mark in the form of the many ghosts and ghouls said to stalk it's impressive corridors and chambers. This includes phantom monks, voices calling out in empty rooms, and a large shadowy man, who's heavy footsteps are a sure sign of his presence.

In this episode you will hear a compilation of reports that came in to BBR towards the end of 2020. We hear from a witness in Jersey who saw a Winged Leathery Creature that advanced towards him with one beat of it's Bat Like Wings. We hear from a lady who saw a “Bat Winged Monkey Bird'' when she was travelling in the South of England.Then we hear from a couple who live in their converted van full time here in the UK. One one occasion along the River Ouse their camp felt as though it was being watched the whole time. Then when they were parked on a mountain road the gentleman was shadowed back to their van.Thank you to these amazing artists for our new look BBR Podcast 2021.Title Music - Todd C RuzickaBBR Artwork - Tim MarneyEnd Video/Music/Credits - Mick Mclaren

As you know here at BBR we look into the phenomena ordinary people are faced with everyday. We try to help them share their experience amongst friends and people who will understand how they feel. The cases that come in range from Cryptid or Paranormal Creatures and Unown Humanoids all the way through to UFO and Abduction events. We deal with the Paranormal, Supernatural or Otherworldly subjects, we investigate Missing time events, Animal mutilations and strange or mysterious disappearances. Over the years we have taken thousands of sighting accounts and witness interviews. For each witness the event is a personal experience that they are often sharing for the first time outside of a small circle of friends. For others it's still a well kept secret being shared for the first time.Viewing a spirit or ghost is not seen as unusual by modern day society, but seeing something not known to science can hinder the progress of anyone trying to come to terms with a singular event or a lifetime of experiences. Tonight you will hear from people who were shadowed by an unseen Being, Something Unnamed whilst out in the woods. These people are not alone in their experience, events exactly like this happen all across the UK and worldwide.

The third and final of our "Wildlfower Women" trilogy comes in the form a scene of Shakespearean serenity, unfolding upon the banks of the River Ouse (if you can excuse the sounds of nearby building works!) Serena Manteghi played Ophelia to David Oakes’ Hamlet late last year, a role punctuated by one of the most well-known pieces of poetry about flowers. In this conversation, the pair muse over the mythology of the flowers that are highlighted in Ophelia’s infamous Act 4 speech. From rosemary (for remembrance), to pansies, fennel and violets, learn what each flower signifies and why Ophelia might not be so mad after all.For further information on this and other episodes, visit: http://www.treesacrowd.fm/serena-manteghi See acast.com/privacy for privacy and opt-out information.

Rosalind Forbes Adam is the founder and project leader of the Woodmeadow Trust in York, formerly the Hagges Woods Trust. The idea of “raising tomorrow’s ancient woodland” was born from a question all husbands have surely asked their wives at some point - “do you want to make a wood?” The concept of the wood has changed since the idea first emerged. Rather than looking 400 years into the future, the aim now is to address something much more immediate - the catastrophic decline in biodiversity in the UK. In this episode, full of wonderful words of wisdom, find out how Ros hopes to create a link of habitat meadows between the River Ouse and the River Derwent, why wood meadows are not just beautiful, but ecologically practical, and learn how Ros is inspiring others to turn their fields or lawns into similarly “wild” environmental landscapes.For further information on this and other episodes, visit: http://www.treesacrowd.fm/woodmeadow-trust/ See acast.com/privacy for privacy and opt-out information.

In March 1941, Virginia Woolf wrote a letter to her husband Leonard. It would be the last letter to her beloved. On the 28th of that month, she filled the pockets of her overcoat with stones and walked into the River Ouse, which ran near her home. Her body was not discovered until the following month. Here is Virginia Woolf's last letter to her husband Leonard. It is a love letter, written in the pain of mental illness and the heavy shadows of despair.

As the Paris global climate negotiations get under way, we in Britain face the prospect of increased flooding. . What can we do about it? Gresham College in the City of London was founded in 1597 and over 400 years has provided a range of free lectures on different subjects to those who live and work in London. One recent lecture was The next big flood, Britain underwater.  Pod Academy's Lee Millam went to talk to Professor Carolyn Roberts about the facts, figures and ideas in her lecture, which was part of Gresham College's Britain in Troubled Waters series. ............... The UK has a series of problems associated with flooding.  One of them is to do with the physical things that are creating the flooding - intense rainfall, high windspeeds in oceans, sea levels, storminess and so on.  Another significant element is how we manage it, what we do about managing both the water and the damage the water creates when it gets into inappropriate places like people's living rooms. The third element is to do with the ways things are shifting as the climate shifts, so that the risks are becoming more intense, particularly in certain parts of the country.  So it is a complex, threefold problem. Climate change is part of what we are talking about, but flooding is a natural phenomenon - rivers have always over topped their banks (they almost never 'burst' their banks).  We have altered the environment very significantly with what we do, how we farm, the way we constrain rivers etc, so it's a mixture of a naturally induced phenomenon (flooding always happens) and the result  of how we behave in circumstances close to rivers and close to the coast. In 2007 we had some very severe flooding over quite wide areas of England and Wales and from that we have learned a lot.  One of the things that happened after those floods was changes in administrative arrangements for the management of flooding, although I'd say those are still to be tested in reality. The other thing that happened following the 2007 flood was that considerable amounts of money were put into research and that has been an astonishing British success story in terms of understanding how floods are generated, where flood water goes, predicting and forecasting events - we are now pretty good with the science, but we're a lot less good and have learned far fewer lessons about the politics of managing flooding.  So that is, perhaps, where we need to turn our attention now. In terms of the way we manage floods and the way politicians behave, at both local and national level they have an eye to the short term, so they are concerned about the next election when their role in their constituency will come up for renewal.  And they tend to want results over very short periods of time - three, four, five years.  But that is not realistic in terms of dealing with flooding. We are also in an era of austerity and that is making it difficult to find the money to do some of the things that really do need doing. In the longer term it makes sense, just as it does for climate change itself, and it makes sense to invest now to avert future costs.  The costs that emerging now in the latest research on flooding, the costs of flooding under different climate scenarios and different kinds of population growth, those costs are enormous.  We have to do something to avert them.  But that requires taking  quite difficult decisions now about how we spend limited budgets.  One understands the difficult choices politicians have to make both locally and nationally, but sometimes people have to grasp the nettle. There are four types of flooding.  The most important - both in cost terms and the number of people at risk is undoubtedly from rivers. So the large rivers - the River Ouse in Yorkshire, the Severn, parts of the Thames above London - those are areas of some significance (and there are others). The next most significant in terms of economic costs is coastal flooding...

Full Show Script [fundamentally wrong] EVO: If you had to pick a time to travel northern Europe, you probably wouldn't pick winter. But we're owning the name The Opportunistic Travelers, and this is where the opportunity took us. SHE: And it's not like we were at the North Pole or anything. Compared to The northeastern part of The States, it's not that bad here in Europe. It's been manageable. The calendar tells me it's spring now, but I'm not sure I believe it, based on what I'm feeling when I'm outside. However, the buds on the trees tell me that spring is just around the corner. EVO: We've been in England for over a month now. So we can say with at least some authority that England's bad rap for its food and its weather is mostly deserved. Or as Cousin Avi said it: [england] EVO: Well, not just London. North West England and Yorkshire too.  SHE: We've had mixed results with the food in England. Some of it has been amazing. And some of it not so much. One of my favorite foods of all time is fish & chips ... and even those have been on the great side and some on the not so much side. E's experience has been roughly the same.  EVO: But there's one food they get right every time. Cheese. Here's just one of our experiences with glorious, glorious cheese, this time enjoyed with the marvelous beers from Marble Brewing in Manchester. [cheese] SHE: Yep, I'll take some more cheese, please! And like cousin Avi referenced,  it rains a lot in England. Like, a lot. The English typically carry an umbrella with them at all times ... ''cuz you never know. Me? I never have an umbrella. As a photographer, the rain can seriously hurt my camera gear, Lucky for me, Evo was Johnny on the spot with an umbrella... and extras. [poop bag] SHE: The authentic English voice you heard was  Matthew Turner (http://turndog.co/) , another person Evo met online. He not only offered us a bed for a few nights, he also acted as tour guide for our trip to York. Sorta. I'm not judging, because I don't know everything about history of my home town, Moore Oklahoma. But ... we also don't have an ancient castle in Moore.  [castle] EVO: It rained on us off and on while we were in York. All that rain, at least along the River Ouse (and yes, it's pronounced "ooze"), leads to a lot of flooding. A lot as in frequency -- the river floods every couple of years. And a lot as in volume --  flood waters of 20 feet or more aren't uncommon. Geography and hydrology make it difficult to control the flooding, and business haven't -- or won't -- move back from river front. So those business flood. A lot.  SHE: Just like eager moms and dads marking their child's growth inside door frames or on various cute yardsticks hung on the wall, a bar called  The Kings Arms marks the high water marks from floods in a similar fashion (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=K-KE0OaJ2Ao) . These markings on their walls are featured and displayed like a badge of honor, saying "You can't stop be beer, Mother Nature. You can only delay it a little while." [flood Levels] SHE: We're not staying along the River Ouse, so we're likely safe from the floods.  Maybe. If it ever stops raining.  EVO: Cheers from Yorkshire! SHE: We travel the world as The Opportunistic Travelers largely because of our generous listeners. EVO: People all over the world pledge as little as five bucks a month, and in return, they get a hand-written postcard from us sent from wherever opportunity has taken us, every single month. Sign up today at TheOpportunisticTravelers.com/postcards. SHE: We also stay for free most of our journey. No, we’re not super-stars or anything. We eliminate hotel costs and stay in some great cities by housesitting all over the world. Get our complete list of the actual housesitting sites we use every day at TheOpportunisticTravelers.com/stayforfree, and stop spending money on hotels when you travel, too. Thanks for...
