Anita Rani and Joe Crowley explore the River Leven, which flows through Fife, uncovering how this once hard-working industrial river shaped communities for centuries and how it鈥檚 now being transformed for the future.
Anita joins archaeologists on a major new excavation digging into the river鈥檚 hidden past, before meeting the people helping to reconnect local communities with the water for the first time in generations.
At Loch Leven, Joe gets hands-on with one of the river鈥檚 last working sluices to discover how its waters powered industry and why it still plays an important role today. He also joins scientists involved in one of the UK鈥檚 longest-running lake research programmes, monitoring the health of the river at its source.
Meanwhile, on Adam Henson鈥檚 farm in the Cotswolds, annual spring plant surveys reveal how the landscape is changing year by year.
