In this very special episode Penny Green officially hands the host’s mic to Isabella Tree.
Penny has been behind the Knepp podcast since it launched in 2020 and has been Knepp’s ecologist for a decade. She’s moving on for pastures new (in fact, just down the road to the Wiston Estate).

In this warm and poignant episode, Isabella asks Penny to take her to the corners of Knepp’s Wildland which meant the most to her over the years. Together they recall the peaks and troughs of her time at Knepp, including capturing fugitive beavers and how nightingale song in lockdown – ringing out without anyone to hear it – inspired the very first episode of the podcast.
