We hear concerns about who will continue the tradition of commoning in the New Forest. Plus, a peat bog restoration project to improve drinking water and reduce carbon emissions.
The tradition of commoners grazing cattle in the New Forest could be under threat because few young people want to take it on. Plus, the peat bog restoration project on Dartmoor which will lock up the equivalent of two years of UK farming's carbon emissions. It'll also reduce the cost of cleaning drinking water supplies.
Presented by Charlotte Smith and produced by Sarah Swadling.
