Yorkshire Dales crayfish reserve highlights battle against invaders (opens the original)
Read excerpt
As I mentioned last week, I came across a reserve for the white-clawed crayfish on a recent walk near Threshfield Quarry in the Yorkshire Dales where information boards explained the threat from its foreign cousin, the signal crayfish. The reserve was a small pond designed with the specific needs of the crayfish in mind such as places to hide from predators, the right food, and of course, no sign of the dastardly enemy.

'Emotional wobbles' but huge relief for family as Heartbeat writer's study recreated (opens the original)
Read excerpt

Read excerpt
I’ve been harbouring a secret for a while, but the time has come to share it, writes Countryman's Daughter columnist Sarah Walker… The study belonging to my dad, Peter Walker, has been saved! I’ve written in the past about my concerns as to what is going to happen to it when we have to sell the family home. It’s been a weighty burden because it is tied so closely to Dad and his career. What were we to do with all the stuff that was so important to him? Dad’s study is THE place where I feel close
