Charlotte Smith and Matt Baker are in Shropshire, where landscapes are being brought back to life - floodplains are being rewilded, meadows restored and ancient woodlands reimagined.
Charlotte is among the trees in Attingham Park, exploring how old and new woodland offers different habitats for wildlife. She also visits a cattle farm trialling new tech methods to study the hydrology of their land. Meanwhile, Matt is at Dudmaston Estate, where he finds a novel solution to recent and increasing flood events. He also meets a farmer restoring a third of his land to heathland, to be grazed by his herd of Highland cattle. Nearby, a mammal group monitors harvest mice populations in a small meadow by the River Severn.
As part of ÃÛÑ¿´«Ã½ Wellbeing Week, Vick Hope meets His Royal Highness Prince William at an event focusing on mental health among farmers.
Adam Henson travels to Wrexham to meet brothers Will and George Tomlinson - fifth-generation dairy farmers, who are moving away from imported soya and growing their own cattle feed in a bid to make the farm fully self-sufficient.
