National Trust and TV wildlife expert team up on autumn nature campaign

People urged to savour sights, sounds and smells of the season as poll shows a disconnect during darker months

There may be a bite in the wind and the nights are certainly drawing in but a conservation charity and a television wildlife champion have launched a campaign aimed at getting more people connecting with nature in the autumn and winter months.

The National Trust is launching a Wild Senses" campaign on the back of the new BBC series Hamza's Hidden Wild Isles in which the wildlife expert and camera operator Hamza Yassin celebrates the UK's seasons and encourages viewers to notice, appreciate and reconnect to wildlife everywhere.
