Your Wild Streets
UK Youth for Nature
3 episodes
2 weeks ago

A podcast about wilding the places we live,: one verge, garden and crack in the pavement at a time.


Hosted by Alena and Roisin, Your Wild Streets is a new podcast from UK Youth for Nature exploring how we can bring nature back into our everyday spaces and why it matters now more than ever. From gardens to councils, backyards to policy change, each episode weaves together seasonal reflections, guest interviews and action to inspire a wilder, more biodiverse world.


Whether you’re planting wildflowers on your windowsill or pushing your council to ban pesticides, Your Wild Streets offers a space to reclaim connection, beauty and belonging in the places we live.


This podcast supports the Your Wild Streets campaign, calling for a national ban on pesticides in urban areas and a shift toward pesticide-free councils across the UK.


New monthly episodes launching in June.

Wilder Ways to Garden with Mary Reynolds

In this episode, we’re joined by the brilliant Mary Reynolds - former Chelsea Flower Show gold medal winner turned rewilding activist and founder of the We Are The ARK movement. Mary shares her powerful journey from designing pristine gardens to championing wild, messy, life-filled outdoor spaces and challenges us to stop seeing ourselves as gardeners and start seeing ourselves as guardians.


Before diving in, we kick off with a quick news round-up: the latest on the voting age change in England, PAN UK’s new pesticide report, plus updates from our campaigns in Wales and our upcoming Urban Nature Day in Newcastle upon Tyne this September.


In our chat with Mary, we explore:

  • How she went from garden designer to full-time rewilding activist
  • The story behind We Are The ARK and its nine practical steps for restoring life
  • Why tidy gardens are bad news for biodiversity
  • Ireland’s nature crisis and what it tells us about land use everywhere
  • Myths we need to let go of about ownership, control and connecting with nature
  • The crucial role of native plants in keeping ecosystems alive
  • How building an ARK can turn everyday people into activists
  • Mary’s own six-acre ARK in Ireland and the love she’s built with her land
  • Why humans must act as guardians if we’re to prevent further ecological collapse
  • Her advice for young activists on staying resilient and leading with love
