A pensioner who has planted 20,000 trees on a plot of disused land has been hailed an environmental champion.
Retired electrical engineer Stewart Hood, 77, from Co Antrim, has transformed the stony grounds of his 22-acre site into an area rich in biodiversity.
Mr Hood secured support from Stormont ’s Department of Agriculture, Environment and Rural Affairs (Daera) to undertake the major forestry project.
