Nature Activities: Trees
Every tree has its own personality. Some are perfect for climbing, others are home to woodpeckers, squirrels or strange-looking fungi. From bark rubbing and leaf printing to tree identification and woodland games, these activities are all about looking a little closer and discovering the stories hidden amongst the branches.
