The series which assesses the work and impact of the pioneering scientists, campaigners and communicators of the last 60 years who’ve swum against the tide to influence our opinion and behaviour on the environment.

You can listen to all the episodes on the BBC Sounds app or via their website here.

Also Open Country on Thursday 9 January was is about a community in Cumbria working together to plant trees and reduce single use plastic. You can find that on the BBC Sounds app or on their website here.
