Description

Leslie Dawes meets with Richard St Barbe Baker, a pioneer in reforestation all over the world. Although he says we have beautiful trees in Northern Ireland, we do not have enough of them. 

Richard St Barbe Baker was an English biologist and botanist, environmental activist and author, who contributed greatly to worldwide reforestation efforts. As a leader, he founded an organisation, Men of the Trees, still active today as the International Tree Foundation, whose many chapters carry out reforestation internationally.
