People will see the large fenced off area of the Heath where, Town Ranger Jacob Gibson explains, the topsoil has been scraped away to stimulate heather growth.

Jacob talks to Mike Waddington about helping the Heath recover and that needs heather, stirring the deeps and treading very carefully. And it will take time to allow nature to perform its wondrous work.

He also talks about other work underway, the walkways around the Plump Duck and why a cull, as some have suggested, is not on the cards.
