Join ecologist, Anja Murray, every Saturday morning at 9.20 for Nature File – a celebratory journey to the lesser known realms of nature in Ireland.
Episode 17 – Scots Pine
Scots Pine is one of very few native evergreen trees in Ireland, one of the first trees to colonise Ireland after the ice sheets of the last glaciation finally melted some 12,000 years ago. After decades of debate around whether today’s trees descend form Scottish trees or not, the puzzle has finally been resolved through genetic research. Discover the tale of Irish Scots Pine on Nature File this Saturday.
