Closed Country: Changing seasons

As winter gives way to spring and early summer, Helen Mark takes a walk around her family farm near Limavady in Northern Ireland, spotting the signs of the changing seasons.

The signs of spring are everywhere, transforming our gardens and fields with splashes of colour and signs of new life. Unable to travel to explore new locations and landscapes as she normally would for Open Country, Helen Mark takes a walk around her own family farm on the edges of Lough Foyle in Northern Ireland, spotting the signs of seasonal change. She talks to wildlife experts and local farmers, finding out how the rhythm of the seasons affects their relationship with the land.
