Winter is a very peaceful time in the woods, as you walk about listen out for birds calling,
how many birds can you hear in one minute?
All the trees are bare during the winter months…or are they? Find 4 trees that still have leaves
even though it’s the middle of winter.
Food is scarce during these cold winter months. Squirrels, dormice, and Jays have been making the
most of the acorns, can you find any that have been eaten by one of these animals?
Not all plants are dead through winter, have a look around for signs of life; can you find any new
buds or shoots? Count them but don’t pick them, we need them t keep the forest growing.
