Helen's Home Patch

Helen is staying close to home in West Yorkshire, finding out how current restrictions are affecting her community. She pays a visit to Harewood House to learn more about their conservation projects, and she drops in to meet some of the lonely residents of her local horse and donkey sanctuary, who are missing their regular volunteers. Local brothers and Olympic medallists Jonny and Alistair Brownlee demonstrate how to keep fit under lockdown, and Tom discovers how school closures have hit vital outdoor education. Adam steps in to help a nanny goat in distress, and we catch up with young naturalist Xander Johnston as he keeps an eye on local insect life on his daily walks.
