Mark Stephen and Rachel Stewart with stories from the great outdoors.

Mark heads over to Glenan Wood in Argyll to explore a piece of Scotland’s temperate rainforest with Ian Dow, ACT Woodland Coordinator. He explains why this is such a unique and magical habitat.

Rachel Stewart chats with Doug Gooday, Ranger with Aberdeenshire Council, about Nest Boxes. He explains why this is a good time of year to pop Nest Boxes up into the trees.

Mark went along to St Andrews to find out more about her adventures in the Rockpools, and her studies in Biofouling. They discuss how Elizabeth seeks to educate others along the way, through the creation of informative and fun YouTube videos.
