Bun Burrows has dedicated his life to forestry, planting thousands of trees on Exmoor. He takes Ruth Sanderson for a walk through the woodlands of the Haddeo valley, to see his legacy of over 40 years' work. Bun has been managing the ancient semi-natural woodland on the Bury Estate since 1975 together with owner Bernard Dru. Now, to celebrate his 80th birthday and to mark the contribution he has made to the forests of Exmoor National Park, a path is being named after him and included in the Ordnance Survey map of the area.
