The beauty of Wales' last wilderness, and protecting butterflies at a golf course in Powys

The campaign to protect Wales' green desert, the Cambrian Mountains, and hitting scrubland for six at a golf club in Powys to encourage rare butterflies.

Peatland restoration targets in Wales are to be tripled to increase biodiversity - a move welcomed by delegates at an international conference in Aberystwyth this week.  We hear about the campaign to designate the Cambrian Mountains as an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty.  After 17 years in the role, the Chief Vet for Wales, Christianne Glossop retires. And the golf club in Powys clearing its scrubland to encourage rare butterflies
