Set to air on Bank Holiday Monday, August 25, viewers will join presenter Jules Hudson and Jack Skuse from conservation training charity Ambios as they explore the Sharpham Trust's rewilding fields, and Jack demonstrates how to build an osprey nest.

The artificial nests, made at Lower Sharpham Farm near Totnes, are part of a Government-funded project to tempt ospreys back to the Dart Valley.
