Country Life April 15 2015
Country Life April 15 2015 examines the life of Thomas Chippendale and takes action against litter.


This week in Country Life we delight in our native flora, from deciduous woods to windswept hillside; we venture into the Forest of Dean with an expert forager; we explain how Stratfield Saye, the magnificent Hampshire seat of the Duke of Wellington, has enjoyed a renewal; we report on the efforts to reintroduce the hazel dormouse and we learn to cook with rhubarb.
