Using drones in conservation
About this episode
This episode discusses the use of drones in conservation efforts, focusing on their benefits and impacts on wildlife.
For our first episode of 2026, we head out to Crowle Moor to catch up with the Fens East Peat Partnership (FEPP) team to discuss their work, including increasing water retention on various sites and monitoring land changes in response to restoration, particularly through aerial surveys. Drones on nature reserves can be quite a controversial topic and in this episode we unpick the benefits of using them for conservation, what impact they can have on wildlife and why we ask the general public not to use them on our reserves.
