How to respect the coast
A new episode of the Down in Dorset podcast is out now!
This episode features Sam Scriven, Principal Officer for the Jurassic Coast World Heritage Site exploring the challenges and opportunities connected to Dorset’s soils.
Soil plays a vital role in supporting nature, food production, climate resilience and our coastal environments – but how much do we really know about it?
Tune in to discover why healthy soils matter and what we can do to help protect this often-overlooked natural resource.

#dorstcoast #jurassiccoast #coastalrecoveryA new episode of the Down in Dorset podcast is out now, digging beneath the surface and exploring how Dorset’s geology shapes our landscapes, food and wildlife.
Hosts Tim and Lizzie are joined by Dorset Council’s geologist, a local farmer and a community grower to look at the challenges and opportunities of working with Dorset’s soils.
Farmer Dougal explains how they are prioritising soil health, including making compost on the farm using equipment funded by Dorset National Landscape’s Farming in Protected Landscapes programme.
From chalk hills to flint-filled clay, discover why soil matters to us all.

Calling all Coast Detectives!
Have you ever wondered how your local coastline used to look, or how it might change in the future? We’re inviting children and their families to become Coast Detectives and take part in the Our Coast: Then, Now, Next challenge.
Investigate old photos, listen to stories from parents or grandparents, explore what the coast looks like today, and use your imagination to picture what might come next. You can share your discoveries through drawings, photos, interviews, writing, or short videos.
Your clues will help us piece together the story of our changing coast, past, present, and future.
Ready to start investigating? Join the challenge and share what you uncover!
