From ghost towns to nuclear exclusion zones, what happens when nature reclaims derelict spaces?

Award-winning writer Cal Flyn is On Jimmy’s Farm this week to chat about her journey around the world’s abandoned places, areas where nature has been allowed to take over again.

Hear about the surprising ecological discoveries in different places such as Chernobyl, a ghost town in Detroit, and an uninhibited Scottish island…which has subsequently been taken over by feral cattle.

Cal won the Sunday Times Young Writer of the Year award for her book, Islands of Abandonment: Life in the Post-Human Landscape. You can read more about it here.
