Anita Rani and Joe Crowley visit the Mackie family of Mahee Island in County Down.

Anita Rani and Joe Crowley visit the Mackie family of Mahee Island in County Down for the first of four seasonal visits this year. They hear how the family created their own wildlife wetland.

It’s springtime in County Down, where Anita Rani and Joe Crowley meet the Mackies of Mahee Island during the first of four seasonal visits this year. Anita gets a tour of the family’s very own arboretum and is introduced to the art of a well-known friend, while Joe lends a hand on the farm as the cattle head to the fields for spring. He also hears from the family’s conservationist about how they created their own wetland – one of Northern Ireland’s wildlife treasures. Also, Tom Heap investigates how the war in Ukraine has sparked a surge in the cost of fertiliser which could affect the price of the food on our plates.
