Fishery closures, Trees, Horse wormers

Fishermen are warning of job losses in the industry following the temporary closure of some UK fishing grounds. Plus can being outdoors boost mental wellbeing?

Fishermen are warning of job losses in the industry following the temporary closure of some UK fishing grounds. The Marine Management Organisation, who regulate marine activities in the seas around England and Wales, says it's had to close some areas as there's risk of going over the set quota. Farming Today speaks to a fish processor who has been closed since the middle of October because none of the boats that supply him have been able to go out.

Can being outdoors boost your mental well-being? Anna Jones visits a Forest School on the Isle of Wight who certainly think it can.

And the president of the British Equine Veterinary Association is warning horse owners to be vigilant over worming their animals, as resistance to wormers in horses is becoming an increasing problem.

Presented by Charlotte Smith and Produced by Lucy Bickerton.
