Summer is a great time to go exploring with your friends! Have a look on our website to find a nature reserve near you, or try the Visit Woods site to discover somewhere new to go. There are lots of things you can do when out and about in a wild place, try making a trail to a summer treasure or find a large tree to climb. When you are hidden amongst the leaves, sit really quietly and look around, the quieter you are the more wildlife you will see. Imagine being a baby bird in a nest or a spider building a web or even a caterpillar nibbling away at a leaf.
All creatures need air, water, food and shelter so why not build a mini shelter for an imaginary creature of the woods, using sticks, leaves, moss,and anything else you can find. See if you can camouflage it at the base of a tree or under a large fern perhaps, to keep your creature safe from predators. Get your friend to make one too and then compare the two. Did you create luxury accommodation or a budget hostel?
