Go on a Dormouse Nut Hunt

A great activity to do with the kids in the autumn is to visit your local woodland and look for dormouse opened hazelnuts. The video below will guide you on your first nut hunt!

Create a Hedgehog Highway

Work with your neighbours to create 'hedgehog holes' in your garden fences and walls to help your local hedgehogs. Get the kids to create signage 'Hedgehogs this way'! 

Go Pond Dipping

Pond dipping opens up a whole world of discovery and you'll be amazed at the variety of creatures which live in ponds. This guide tells you how to pond dip responsibly - it's important to think of things like cleaning equipment to prevent spreading disease. 

Look for wildlife in your garden or local park

What animals and plants live in your local area? Take a look and see what you find, then design a sign for your window to tell your neighbours about the amazing nature on your doorstep. 

Become a Spotter

Want to learn the names of some of our most common minibeasts, birds, plants and trees? Take a look at these spotter sheets from the RSPB and become a spotter! Keeping a notebook is a great way to keep track of what you've seen.
