The bling that's ruining the countryside. Charlotte Smith hears about a campaign to remove cultivated daffodils from grass verges in the UK.
Charlotte Smith hears from a campaign to remove cultivated daffodils from the countryside. Wildlife Consultant Andy Tasker believes these daffodils shouldn't be on the verges of rural roads and should be confined to more appropriate areas. Also there are plans to re-introduce truffle woods on farmland across the country. Historically, Britain has been an exporter of truffles, but the last full time truffle hunter gave up in the 1930's. Now a scientist is working with more than a dozen landowners to re-introduce British truffles on a larger scale.
