Talking trees in Binning Wood


Listen Later

Binning Wood is in East Lothian beyond North Berwick and is a historic wood.  Once used to build warplanes and then replanted after the war, it's packed full of different trees and was an ideal location for my walk with Jean Nairn.  Binning is home to wide walkways through native trees, a beautiful green burial site and little hidden spaces. 

Jean worked in forestry and while she still works with trees, it's now in a very different - and fascinating - way.  We headed out into Binning to enjoy nature sights and sounds and to find out more about Jean and her love of trees.
