Secret Life of the Forest

It's the height of summer in Dalby and Cropton Forests and the inhabitants are making the most of the abundance the warm weather provides. The young beaver kits bond with the rest of the family as they learn how to groom and chew through bark, two important skills they need to master. This episode also looks back at the history of the Lumberjills, the affectionate name given to the women who worked in the forest during the Second World War as part of the women's Timber Corps.
