Track 12

Good afternoon and welcome to Nature Trail. Last week on the show we talked about animals in danger. This week, something different. Some animals haven't been seen in the UK in the wild for hundreds of years - for example the lynx and the wolf. They died out when forests were cut down and towns were built near to where they lived. A group called The Wild Beasts Trust want to release these animals back into the wild. But although this seems to be positive, not everybody is happy about it. Farmers say wild animals will attack sheep and cows, some people think they could even attack children.

Most people already seem to have an opinion on the issue, whether for or against, but these opinions are not generally based on facts but on personal beliefs. Today, we are going to talk to a member of the Wild Beasts Trust and a wildlife expert to find out a bit more about this plan and try to get the information about any dangers or benefits that might result.

Track 14

Everyone has heard of Stonehenge but there are many other ancient stones in this country of ours, a lot of them in Cornwall. Today we are going to start by talking about Lanyon Quoit. Now, a quoit is an ancient burial chamber, that is a place where the dead were buried. Lanyon Quoit consists of four stones and looks like a giant table with three of the stones acting as legs and the other placed on top of them. The legs are about 2 metres high and the stone on top, which is called the capstone, is about 6 metres long and 3 metres wide. It is very heavy, weighing 13 and a half tons.

No-one knows exactly how old the quoit is but it is thought to date from about 2000 years BC. Unfortunately, it fell down in a storm in 1815 and a fourth leg stone was broken. The local people put it up again nine years later in 1824.
