Sandi's Great British Woodland Restoration

Sandi Toksvig and her wife Debbie acquire a 40-acre ancient woodland in southern England dating from 1600, home to trees, streams, meadows and wildlife, but overgrown and diseased. In the first episode, it's winter and faced with a dark, overgrown jungle, Sandi begins to make a plan to create space and light in the wood and increase biodiversity. With locals' help, they revive the site by felling trees, building wildlife ponds and releasing orphaned owls while shedding light on Britain's woodland crisis.

After a cold winter, Sandi's wood 'springs to life' as she and wife Debbie start to focus on creating suitable habitats for woodland creatures. They build a wildlife pond to increase the biodiversity and tree surgeons make a 200-year-old beech tree safe. Sandi's budget is stretched because of local fly-tipping, as she has to fork out thousands of pounds on fencing.
