    Hello, and welcome to Nature’s Tales - a podcast for repairing your relationship with nature through storytelling. My name is Lily Harper, I am a wildlife conservation student in Bristol and am on my own journey of nature reconnection, which I want to share with as many people as possible and encourage them to do the same. This podcast will cover all sorts of magic from the natural world, in the form of storytelling of folk tales and traditional folklore, short pieces of writing and poetry, song, interviews with special guests and much more. Thank you for listening, and always remember that you are nature.
