Sandwich With A View: Episode 2 - Jake Cohen on curlews, commons and life as a ranger

Effectively restoring nature means taking landscape-scale action, bringing people along, and working with empathy. 🤝

Joe Wilkins interviews National Trust Ranger and nature conservationist Jake Cohen in the upland commons of Abergwesyn, Mid Wales. They discuss the devastating impacts of recent wildfires on the land, the fate of curlews and where nature conservation meets farming.

Sandwich with a View is a video series where people who are passionate about nature share their stories, hopes for the future, and personal connections to the natural world - all over a sandwich in a place that is meaningful to them. Hosted by Joe Wilkins (@joe.wildlife), a Welsh ecologist and nature campaigner, the series explores the bond between people and places, and how nature inspires action.

Connection, conservation, and sandwiches. 🥪

Each episode features a guest - conservation professionals and nature advocates - who delve into their personal journey, their relationship with the landscape around them, and the environmental issues they care about most. In episode 2, ecologist and nature conservationist, Jake Cohen, shares his experiences managing 16.5 thousand acres of land in Mid-Wales, and transitioning from a corporate career in London to working to protect wildlife in Wales.
