From Normandy beaches to North Oxfordshire fields,...</itunes:subtitle><itunes:summary><![CDATA[This week, Richard and Richard are joined by Mark, former Army Chaplain, Church of England minister and farmer, for a thoughtful conversation about faith, farming, and mental health in rural Britain. From Normandy beaches to North Oxfordshire fields, they explore the links between the military and the land, the quiet role of the rural church, and why resilience matters more than resistance. With humour, honesty, and a touch of birdsong for Armistice, CountrySlide welcomes its newest recruit: the Padre of the Countryside.As we head into winter life can get more isolating, depression can set in and the unpredictability of life can become harder to face. Please check in with those around you and seek help if you need it.<br /><br />As we head into winter life can get more isolating, depression can set in and the unpredictability of life can become harder to face.

Management) and Nick (Kilmaha Forestry) about what actually happens in forestry and the moves in the last 20 years away from bare monocultures and towards more diverse and sensitive plantations.<br /><br />We cover every stage of forestry and the consideration taken for nature, from planting and selective weeding through to after care and harvesting of timber with minimal ground damage, and the benefits of using timber over other Carbon expensive materials like steel and concrete.<br /><br />Finally the guys talk about the industry as a whole and the impact that vilification of a sector can have on the mental health of the humans within it.<br /><br /><b>CountrySlide</b> is a podcast that looks at farming, conservation and life in the British countryside.<br /><br />Send us photos of

Management) and Nick (Kilmaha Forestry) about what actually happens in forestry and the moves in the last 20 years away from bare monocultures and towards more diverse and sensitive plantations.<br /><br />We cover every stage of forestry and the consideration taken for nature, from planting and selective weeding through to after care and harvesting of timber with minimal ground damage, and the benefits of using timber over other Carbon expensive materials like steel and concrete.<br /><br />Finally the guys talk about the industry as a whole and the impact that vilification of a sector can have on the mental health of the humans within it.<br /><br /><b>CountrySlide</b> is a podcast that looks at farming, conservation and life in the British countryside.<br /><br />Send us photos of

an increase of arable land going into environmental schemes are the hot topics this week.<br /><br />A recent study has shown that 42.3% of farmers across the UK reduced their cropped arable area to

The conversation flows from topic to topic like a river full of pools and gives vibes of a pub chat between friends.<br /><br />This episode was recorded on the Guns on Pegs stand at The Game Fair with a backdrop of chatter, drinks and George Browne's faded Salmon shorts.CountrySlide is a podcast that looks at farming, conservation and life in the British countryside.<br /><br
