Narrated by Colin Morgan, “The Chronicles of Belfast” follows a year in the hidden natural corners of Belfast. This is the final episode and is set in Winter

Despite the challenges of the cold wet weather, there is a lot going on in the wilder parts of the City. We learn of the challenges water brings in Belfast and the work done to prevent the City flooding and to control the tide.

But increased rainfall also brings fossils down from the hills and in Colin Glen, Alannah and Paul search the river, finding signs of life that’s over 180 Million years old. Sustainability is also found on Terry’s urban mushroom farm, as he gathers waste sawdust from a saw mill, to make a perfect growing compound.

On Black Mountain, Aaron has organised a team of school children to plant 100 trees. The forest will provide more habitats for birds and mammals and stop bracken taking over. Aaron’s conservation work on the hill is recognised later in the programme when he wins an award.
