Radio Tree?

[AndyT]

Well, Radio Four really.

I caught the end of a programme about trees today - there are two episodes in the series, in which naturalist Richard Mabey discusses the yew, beech, elm and holly. It's about trees, not timber, so is mostly from a cultural/mythical/natural historical perspective, but I found it interesting. Optimistic on ash die-back too.

Both programmes are on iPlayer and available "for the next 85 years".

Episode 1: http://www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/b02qd1s3
Episode 2: http://www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/b0367sqd

Worth a listen when next in a quiet workshop.

That's quite strange, because I can't listen to iplayer, but I can with this one. I haven't listened yet, too busy watching 'Le Tour', but it's been bookmarked. So ta for that heads up :mrgreen:
