White Park Bay
In recent years, our coastline has taken quite a battering from storms and rising sea levels, resulting in severe coastal erosion and flooding. Ahead of a big National Trust conference on the issue, Anne Marie visits White Park bay with Phil Davidson to find out how the beach has changed dramatically in recent years.
An Creagan Raised Bog
An Creagan forest in Tyrone is home to a rare remnant of ancient raised bog. To help breathe new life into this ancient landscape, volunteers have been clearing non-native trees to allow native trees like Willow, Bird and Rowan, along with mosses and plants, to thrive once again. Conor McKay joined Bio-Diversity officer Peter Brown to find out more.
Clinkers on Lough Erne
Lough Erne is dotted with dozens of islands, many of them were inhabited over the years and the main method of transport was the Clinker boat. Now Lough Erne Heritage are hoping to track down as many of these traditional boats as they can - Fred Ternan, an islander himself, explains why they'd like to track them down.
