Wild Fires

In the aftermath of one of the biggest fires to ever engulf the UK countryside, Joe Crowley and John Craven explore the impact of increasing wildfires.

Joe is in the Scottish Highlands, scouring the ashes around Cannich for signs of life as he meets those who have been tackling a wildfire that has been burning since May, and he wades into the Forsinard Flows, a prospective World Heritage Site and peat bog, that survived a fire to now thrive and is key to combatting climate change.

John rolls up his sleeves to help nature bounce back at Chobham in Surrey after a fire in 2020 destroyed 30 acres of the common, and learns how we can adapt nature reserves to stop fire in its tracks. He then steps into the past to delve into a 3,000 year old treasure trove preserved by wildfire in Cambridgeshire, that's helped to re-shape our understanding of ancient life in Britain.

We also spend time in Hampshire with young farmer Flavian Obiero, who's introducing sheep and goats to his pig farm, while Adam looks at fire safety on his farm, and visits a local fire station to see how they tackle fires on farms.
