Countryfile’s Wild Britain is an ambitious 12-month initiative to galvanize us all to help and save our precious wildlife. In this second instalment of the initiative, Ellie Harrison and Hamza Yassin are at Wytham Woods, Oxfordshire. Hamza climbs into the canopy of the woods to get a unique view of the place many species here call home, and finds out the impact of ash dieback on this ecosystem. \n\nEllie is on call with the Oxfordshire Wildlife Rescue Centre, ready to head out with one of their team if a report of an injured animal comes in. Ellie also visits the Boundary Brook Nature Reserve, a multi-habitat site that provides access to nature for people living in and around the city of Oxford.\n\nElsewhere, Adam Henson is presenting Countryfile’s Young Countryside Champion award in Newport. The Sycamore Gap tree at Hadrian’s Wall was one of the most famous trees in England, and its recent illegal felling has shocked the nation. Close to the hearts of people everywhere, Countryfile will meet the people it inspired and find out what the potential plans are for the future of the tree.
