Nature Journal

Planning your adventure:

What to take along on your Nature

Trails:

• Your nature journal and a pencil to

take a note of everything you see and

do. Extra coloured pencils may be

great if you like to draw.

• Binoculars and a magnifying glass.

• A small jar for any specimens you may

find so you can collect, examine then

return safely.

• A small bag to keep all your materials

and supplies together.

• A drink of water – exploring is thirsty

work.

• A snack to sit down and nibble on

whilst you reflect on what you’ve seen

and plan your next move.

• Suitable clothes – a hat if it is warm or

waterproofs if it could rain.

• A cloth or tissue in case you touch

something a bit yuck, even though that

is one of the best parts of exploring.

• A happy cheerful exploring attitude,

after all there is nothing better than

being out in nature is there?
