Pam embraces late autumn and falling leaves in the West Country as she visits a charity dedicated to protecting forest tribes across the globe from mineral companies and tourism - and tours a Japanese-influenced arboretum.

Poet and raconteuse, Pam Ayres is back on the open road, visiting nine more places in Britain to hear tales from the people who live there.
