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?
