Originally from Derrylin in County Fermanagh, the collage artist, Sheila Gilroy Collins, launches an exhibition of her work, called Legends and Landscapes, in the Ardhowen Theatre on the banks of Lough Erne. Helen Mark investigates a Woodland Trust initiative on 150 acres of land at Oughtagh Road, which connects fragmented woodlands around the River Faughan and even underneath the newly-constructed A6. And a project begins to tell the stories of the Causeway Safari Park, at Benvarden near Ballymoney in County Antrim. The attraction opened in 1970 and closed in 1997, but drew thousands of visitors to see real life lions, tigers, chimpanzees... and a donkey-zebra cross called Nora who drew attention from the national media.Presented by Anne Marie McAleese.
