A historical former royal hunting ground is being transformed into a nature paradise – with the help of three pigs.

Harold's Park Wildland is a 509-acre nature reserve in Waltham Abbey, in Essex, but it has proved unsuccessful as arable farmland and as a Christmas tree plantation.

But owner Nattergal is on a mission to use "soft engineering" - a natural process to manage environmental challenges - to improve biodiversity.
