Tiny Forests and the Night Sky

BBC Radio Wales - Country Focus, Tiny Forests and the Night Sky

Planting small for a big effect and we're outside for a spot of stargazing.

Why Tiny Forests maybe small but are a huge benefit to the environment and it's time to step outside and look up at the stars.

As COP26 gets underway we for this week's Country Focus we're at Blas Cymru or Taste Wales event, to discover the appetite for sustainability in the Welsh food and drinks industry .  We explore the concept of "Tiny Forests"  grown to help combat climate change and biodiversity loss.  We visit a church in the Black Mountains, to explore thin places - a veil between this world and the eternal world. Amateur astronomer, Katrin Raynor-Evans guides us through the joys of the night sky and finally root zero, the carbon free potato, grown in Pembrokeshire
