BBC Scotland - The Forest, Series 1, Episode 2

The Cree Hatchery and Habitat Trust attempt to restock salmon in the river.

Mark Bonnar narrates a series revealing the world of Galloway Forest. A six-tonne machine at James Jones sawmill requires a dedicated engineering team to fix it when it breaks.

Mark Bonnar narrates a new series revealing the hidden world of Galloway Forest, the country's largest afforested area. Join the amazing men and women who live and work in the place known as Scotland's 'Highlands in the Lowlands', where 600,000 tonnes of timber is produced every year. 

James Jones sawmill in Lockerbie to the east of the forest powers through 20,000 logs a day. But when a six-tonne machine called a crosscut stacker breaks down, a dedicated engineering team must save the day. A decline in salmon numbers in the River Cree near Newton Stewart has led to a tireless effort to restock the river by the Cree Hatchery and Habitat Trust. Archie McNeillie and John 'Cool' Coughtrie from the Forestry Commission's Recreation Department deal with a rat infestation in a public area caused by an overzealous bird feeder. And at Balloch O'Dee campsite, owner James gets ready to stage a comedy night, with hilarious consequences.
