In the aftermath of one of the biggest fires to ever engulf the UK countryside, Joe Crowley and John Craven explore the impact of increasing wildfires.

Joe is in the Scottish Highlands, scouring the ashes around Cannich for signs of life as he meets those who have been tackling a wildfire that has been burning since May, and he wades into the Forsinard Flows, a prospective World Heritage Site and peat bog, which survived a fire to now thrive and is key to combatting climate change.

John rolls up his sleeves to help nature bounce back at Chobham in Surrey, after a fire in 2020 destroyed 30 acres of the common, and learns how we can adapt nature reserves to stop fire in its tracks. He then steps into the past to delve into a 3,000-year-old treasure trove preserved by wildfire in Cambridgeshire that has helped to re-shape our understanding of ancient life in Britain, while Adam looks at fire safety on his farm and visits a local fire station to see how they tackle fires on farms.
