I\u2019m joined by Kevin Newell, founder of Humane Wildlife Solutions, to explore humane ways to manage conflicts with species such as rats, mice, foxes, squirrels and badgers, and why changing our own behaviour can make all the difference.

It\u2019s a great companion to Kevin\u2019s advice on understanding wildlife and finding ways to manage garden conflicts without harming other species.  Episode 17: Foxes in the Garden Animal behaviour expert Terry Woods explores the challenges of sharing our gardens with foxes, from digging up plants to common misconceptions about these often-maligned animals. Like Kevin, Terry offers a practical, humane perspective on living alongside wildlife.
