Horse power and community power
Traditional horsepower at work in our forests, and community ventures that bring people together in their rural localities.
The start of 2026 has seen significant snowfall around Wales and Ifan Jones Evans gives us a glimpse into some of the challenges of Welsh hill-farming in January.
In Denbighshire we hear from Natural Resources Wales about the way in which horses are being used to remove felled trees from an ecologically sensitive area.
Rhodri Davies finds out about the community spirit that's turned Borth-y-Gest Bus Shelter into an award-winning one, as it takes top honours as the CPRW's Best Kept Rural Bus Stop.
And we visit Machynlleth, where wellbeing is being nourished by the community dinners being provided weekly throughout the winter by local venture, Eginiad.
