Dispersal

Visit a few different habitats in autumn and look for plant and tree seeds, nuts, fruits and berries.

Reminder

Identify something that you do regularly throughout a typical day, for example going through a doorway to go in and out of your home, or boiling the kettle.

Camera

Gather the learners into a circle and ask them to form pairs.

Lighting

Try backlighting by positioning a light source, such as a torch or the sun, behind the subject you want to observe.

Night noises

This activity works best in genuine darkness.

Bark texture trail

Without focusing on leaves, look closely at a variety of trees, noticing their overall shape, height, and whether the trunk is straight or twisted.

Wild tea tasting

Using a selection of seasonal wild teas, invite the learners to taste each one in turn.

Walking in circles

Find a level, hazard free area, ideally with a tree or other landmark about thirty paces from a start line.
