BBC Countryfile star Adam Henson opened up about struggling during the show (Image: BBC) Countryfile 's Adam Henson was flooded with support as Cotswold Farm Park shared an emotional tribute to his late dad Joe, who passed away in 2015. Joe was best known for presenting hit shows such as Animal Magic, and also founded the Rare Breeds Survival Trust, no doubt sparking his son's love of the outdoors. The tribute, which featured an image of Adam and his dad, read: "This #FathersDay, we celebrate Adam’s late father, Joe Henson and remember the extraordinary work he undertook to breed pedigree #livestock and his pioneering interest in #rarebreed #conservation which led to the opening of Cotswold Farm Park in 1971.
"Working with a number of like-minded conservationists, Joe was instrumental in the foundation of the Rare Breeds Survival Trust (RBST) of which he became founder Chairman in 1973. The example set by Joe, and the work of the RBST, has ensured that no breeds of farm animal have become extinct since the Trust’s foundation." One fan said: "What a lovely man.
I have only great memories of Joe and his support for Shetland sheep," as another added: "A true gentleman and a hero to rare breeds! What lovely photos." function loadOvpScript(){let el=document.createElement('script');el.
