Autumn Birds with Nick Patel
Autumn is a time of movement and change in the bird world. Migrants arrive from the north to spend the winter here, while summer visitors begin their journeys south. Hedgerows are alive with activity as birds feast on the season’s berries, and grasslands and wetlands provide vital feeding grounds for both resident and passing species. […]

There have been humans here ever since - working the land, […]

We're constantly badgered to do more, to aim higher, to make the most of our time. Our phones and social media, which pose as a break from work, only keep our minds over-stimulated and anxious.

Harriet Rix talks to Julian Hight | The Genius of Trees
Our hope is that Consider the Wondrous can help us to rethink our place on the planet, as one remarkable species among so many others. So, it's fitting that our final event this year should show something as commonplace as trees in a radically different light. It's easy to think of trees as noble, beautiful […]
