Bristol Green City

On the eve of Bristol's Food Connections Festival, Helen Mark explores the urban nature reserves of 2015's Green Capital, Bristol.

In 1985, Bristol's Brandon Hill became the UK's first ever urban nature reserve. 30 years on, Helen Mark discovers how Avon Wildlife Trust is continuing this tradition of environmental trend setting by creating 'wildlife corridors' throughout the city, supporting communal growing at 'Feed Bristol' and developing a brand new reserve - Bennett's Patch and White's Paddock - out of a disused sports site to coincide the city's status as The 2015 European Green Capital.
