The Green Pledge @ Gloucestershire Archives
Welcome to the Green Pledge podcast from Gloucestershire Archives. Travel with us through time to discover stories of local people who’ve protected nature and addressed climate change.
We’ll dive into the historic archive bringing to light our environmental past, to reflect on the present, and imagine what our future could be.
It is important to us to capture a wide range of voices for the archives. The views that can be heard in the interviews are the contributors own and do not necessarily reflect the views of the archive.

Project made possible thanks to National Lottery Heritage Funding.

Episode 13 - Ian Boyd
Ian Boyd is the third generation of farmers at Whittington Lodge Farm in the Cotswold Hills near Cheltenham.
The Farm looks after a herd of organic, pasture fed, Hereford Cattle. Ian works alongside his wife Cathy. Their daughter Steph has now taken over the farm.
The farm’s focus has dramatically changed over the years from concentrating on production for maximum yield to working in harmony with wildlife and the environment.
