Moss covers the ground and glows bright green in the sunlight. Trees can be seen in the foreground stretching into the distance in a beautiful temperate rainforest.

Ahead of World Rainforest Day we’re putting the spotlight on temperate rainforests in Britain. These globally important habitats are rare and often forgotten. But did you know they have the greatest concentration of oceanic lichens and mosses in Europe and are home to many lower plants that pre-date humans? Join Plantlife’s rainforest experts Adam and Sabine to learn more about these glorious ancient woodlands and how Plantlife is protecting them, alongside artist Joya Berrow who explores the relationship between humanity and nature.
