In this episode, Sammi Kinghorn takes a journey to Cumbria to catch up with young shepherdess Katie. With the school year behind her, Katie is immersed in the busy life of tending to her livestock and tackling farm maintenance during the summer holidays. Sammi and Katie explore the farm, discussing the various tasks and responsibilities that come with the territory. Additionally, they delve into Katie’s collaboration with the Woodland Trust, where she has been working on enhancing biodiversity and implementing best practices.
Continuing the exploration, the episode ventures to Lowther Castle, situated nearby. The castle is undergoing a significant project that aims to reconnect the estate with its natural environment, which was once disrupted by Victorian engineering. This project involves large-scale landscaping and the reintroduction of keystone wetlands species—a transformative endeavor that promises to bring the estate’s ecosystem back to life.
