It鈥檚 winter and as the weather gets colder and wetter, in the wilder side of the city, there are fossils to find and forests to plant.
Narrated by Colin Morgan, 鈥淭he Chronicles of Belfast鈥 follows a year in the hidden natural corners of Belfast. This is the final episode and is set in Winter
Despite the challenges of the cold wet weather, there is a lot going on in the wilder parts of the City. We learn of the challenges water brings in Belfast and the work done to prevent the City flooding and to control the tide.
But increased rainfall also brings fossils down from the hills and in Colin Glen, Alannah and Paul search the river, finding signs of life that鈥檚 over 180 Million years old. Sustainability is also found on Terry鈥檚 urban mushroom farm, as he gathers waste sawdust from a saw mill, to make a perfect growing compound.
On Black Mountain, Aaron has organised a team of school children to plant 100 trees. The forest will provide more habitats for birds and mammals and stop bracken taking over. Aaron鈥檚 conservation work on the hill is recognised later in the programme when he wins an award.
