S38E06 Mourne Mountains

In the southeastern part of Northern Ireland lie the Mournes, a stunning mountain range that sweeps down to the coastline. Matt Baker and Charlotte Smith explore the various challenges this beautiful region faces, including fierce wildfires and severe storms, while connecting with the dedicated individuals working to safeguard it, from the peaks to the shores. Matt assists in repairing vital mountain paths, collaborates with rangers to build dams for peat bog restoration, and meets those involved in reintroducing barn owls to the area. Meanwhile, Charlotte revives a valuable section of ancient woodland and aids in stabilizing a delicate dune ecosystem. In the Cotswolds, Adam Henson prepares for lambing season by examining his ewes.
