Turning carbon offsetting into a crop and 30 year old seeds to save a rare plant

Farmers told their poorest land could become a valuable asset and saving a rare, coastal plant from extinction in Glamorgan

Cop 26 is over, but what will be the impact in our countryside?  We speak to the Welsh minister for climate change, Julie James.  Stump up for Trees encourage farmers to think of carbon offset as a crop which they can sell, by planting trees on land that isn't suitable for producing food. We hear about a Monmouthshire farmer's "lockdown project" making connections through a shared sense of farm history.  Our amateur astronomer, Katrin Raynor-Evans is looking forward to the Christmas Comet and can the green-fingered of Glamorgan, germinate 30 year old seeds, to bring back the the very rare, Shore Dock?
