Spring finally arrives, which should help TV star and QI legend Sandi Toksvig, alongside her wife Debbie, in her quest to save an area of ancient woodland. But uncooperative power tools and the unpredictability of the British weather prove to be a challenge. But Sandi, and some new, eco-conscious pals, are determined to fell some problematic trees to help this woodland thrive.
Ep 3Summer
Sandi Toksvig and wife Debbie continue to restore an area of ancient woodland, despite their lack of forestry experience.

As they get to grips with nature, they grow to appreciate the beauty of the landscape around them.
