About this listen

A podcast about wilding the places we live,: one verge, garden and crack in the pavement at a time.


Hosted by Alena and Roisin, Your Wild Streets is a new podcast from UK Youth for Nature exploring how we can bring nature back into our everyday spaces and why it matters now more than ever. From gardens to councils, backyards to policy change, each episode weaves together seasonal reflections, guest interviews and community action to inspire a wilder, more biodiverse world.


Whether you’re planting wildflowers on your windowsill or pushing your council to ban pesticides, Your Wild Streets offers a space to reclaim connection, beauty and belonging in the places we live.


This podcast supports the Your Wild Streets campaign, calling for a national ban on pesticides in urban areas and a shift toward pesticide-free councils across the UK.


🎧 New monthly episodes launching in June.

    Welcome to Your Wild Streets
    Jun 26 2025


    In this first episode of Your Wild Streets, we’re setting the scene from glyphosate-sprayed verges to messy, life-filled corners of our gardens. Hosts Alena and Roisin share their own journeys into campaigning, swap garden fails and introduce the growing movement calling for pesticide-free, biodiversity-rich public spaces across the UK.


    In this episode:

    • A round-up of recent nature news: the good, the grim and the growing movement for wildness.
    • A seasonal reflection inspired by Robin Wall Kimmerer’s vision of cyclical, reciprocal living.
    • Small actions you can take this month: from letting a corner go wild to creating a micro habit audit.
