Zig Zag: Trees
Trees is a unit of the BBC Schools TV series Zig Zag from the 1990s and 2000s, covering nature for primary school pupils.
Zig Zag's nature specialist Nicola Davies looks at trees from many different angles, including how they grow from acorns or seeds, how they are used in making cricket bats or wood sculptures, for energy as charcoal, and to makepaper. Stories from around the world related to trees are narrated by Colin Baker.
