Listen now
Description
Today’s bumper episode of The Wildlife Explorer is all about trees and we’re going to be joined by special guest James Canton, who’s the author of the BBC Radio 4 Book of the Week 'The Oak Papers'. He will be sharing his experiences with one special tree in particular, an aged oak called the Honywood which he visited through the seasons and in all weathers.  He’ll be telling us about what he learnt from sitting underneath the ancient boughs and how we can all be more intimately connected with nature. We’ll also be joined by some special guests from across the Trust helping you to decide which trees are best to plant in your own garden, the magic of trees in spring, at what point an ancient woodland becomes an ancient woodland and you can learn more about our very own tree of life situated at our Fingringhoe Wick reserve.
