Preserving English Meadows
The fabled pastoral English countryside is coming under pressure from increasingly aggressive agribusiness.

He tells us that some people, including his own mother, are trying to preserve the meadow landscape for the sake of biodiversity. He reports from the hamlet of Huish Champflower.
