A woodland fire pit is the perfect central place for you, your friends and family to come together, share stories and enjoy the outdoors. In this film by Natalie Clements, we meet Jason Miller, founder of Military and Emergency Services Help (MESH) and volunteer instructor Damian Booth who show us how to create the perfect fire pit. Jason talks about the importance of community and being outdoors for mental health. MESH is for those military and emergency services personnel who have experienced PTSD and other mental health issues. It offers them and their whole families the opportunity to come together, learn some bushcraft skills and be outside in nature.

Ever wondered why trees lose their leaves in Autumn, or how climate change may affect this seasonal cycle? In this film by rewilding film maker Jack D'Gama, we meet Thiago Silva (lecturer at the University of Stirling and National Geographic Explorer) and Sam Rogerson (entomologist and ecologist from the University of Stirling). Thiago and Sam explain the importance of the leaf cycle for the functioning of the woodland ecosystem, why it occurs, and the significance of the forest floor's leaf litter for invertebrates and wider woodland health. For more information on Thiago's research, please see his X handle @thi_sanna and his LinkedIn profile. To follow Sam and his research on social media please see @naturefromsam.
