Become a ‘Tree Expert’ this New Year!

  • Alex Alves
  • December 30, 2019

Why not commit to investing some of your time into gaining a closer understanding of a particular tree this New Year?

This can be great for both teachers/ leaders, other adults and for all children in order to:

  • Improve your knowledge
  • Extend your understanding
  • Become more aware of seasonal changes
  • Increase observation skills
  • Learn to appreciate nature, sustainability and change
  • Understand how the weather can affect species
  • Develop species identification skills
  • Improve sensory exploration
  • Develop curiosity and inquisitiveness

The simple task involves you choosing a particular tree that is of interest or significance to you.

You can then download the prompt pages here to record your observations throughout the year.

Remember that these sheets are just starting points! You could stick them into a journal and add your own notes, sketches, photos and observations about your tree as the seasons progress. By the end of the year, you will be an expert on your special tree! Not only that, you will have learnt a bundle of new transferable skills, facts, observations and knowledge about nature.

I have always had a passion for both the outdoors and education and it is my dream to be able to share my knowledge, experience and enthusiasm with others to enable them to enjoy the benefits too. In my vast experience, I have seen the huge benefits that high-quality outdoor learning can bring.
