• The Secret Story of Trees with Levison Wood

  Explorer and broadcaster Levison Wood is taking us deep into the UK’s ancient temperate rainforest to uncover the secret stories of trees.   In this month’s Nature Fix Levison tells host Jo Dyson how his military training and thirst for adventure led him to a career in extreme environments, from walking the length of the River Nile, to exploring the Amazon Rainforest and trekking the Himalayas.   But there’s nowhere quite like home and on this journey we’re taking a summer hike through the lush oak forests of Hembury and Holne Woods in Dartmoor National Park.   We explore the stories from Celtic lore held in these centuries-old woods and reflect on the amazing environmental and health benefits of trees.   Explore the ancient wonder of trees in this woodland adventure.      Levison Wood’s book The Great Tree Story is out now: https://www.amazon.co.uk/Great-Tree-Story-Forests-Shaped/dp/1856755614   [Ad] Heading out for adventure?
