The rural issues - in the run up to the forthcoming Royal Welsh Agricultural show we talk to the Welsh Government minister for the Environment and Rural Affairs on her priorities in our countryside

Swansea Bay Tidal Lagoon - ministers are yet to give a green light for the project but even if they do, there's still one final hurdle for the developers - they need a marine license from Natural Resources Wales to build the billion pound scheme out at sea. "Exhaustive discussions" have been ongoing but now Tidal Lagoon Power think they've come up with a plan to reduce the potential impact the scheme could have on the fish populations

The Wisdom of Equus - the woman from Nant y Ffrith near Wrexham who has turned her lifelong love of horses into a form of therapy for people who've suffered trauma

Dunes - do you know your rest-harrow from your Lady's bedstraw? Plantlife are encouraging families to explore sand dunes and their coastal flowers this summer. Rachael Garside visits Carmarthen Bay dunes which are home to around 250 species - that's nearly one-fifth of all native flowers found in Wales.

Snwdling - the North Wales Wildlife Trust have teamed up with an award-winning artist to take people on a unusual tour combining snorkeling and art. Places are limited but for more information or to book please contact Dawn Thomas
