From ‘Dig for Victory’ to 'Pick for Britain', Tom Pattinson takes us on a potted history of compost and how a special recipe (John Innes) helped win the day...

Steve Lowe’s keeping an eye on river levels and the future is looking brighter in Northumberland for crayfish thanks to a project with Northumberland Zoo...

Could Beavers be coming to Northumberland? Mike Pratt, CEO, Northumberland Wildlife Trust, explains more about the plan to bring back one of nature’s eager engineers.
And, if you (like me) struggle to identify birds (I’m rubbish at it), fear not, we’ve got an exciting new feature to help from our very own birder, Tom Cadwallender (British Trust for Ornithology).
