Houston's Whitebeam

Synopsis

At 80 years old, Libby Houston still scales the 300-foot cliffs of Bristol's Avon Gorge to investigate rare plants. But as it stands, there's only one known member of her namesake discovery - Houston’s Whitebeam - and reflecting on its inevitable extinction prompts Libby to contemplate her own legacy.
Through tragic loss and discovery, this is the story of her life’s entanglement with the environment.
