Gather some aromatic needles, such as pine or fir, and dry them for several weeks.

The big bug count

Choose a patch to survey, such as a flower bed, a stretch of hedge, a log pile or a square of long grass about two metres across.

To conserve is to look after a place so that the wildlife living there can keep living there.

Bird count

Choose a fixed spot with a good view of the sky and surrounding habitat, such as a garden, park or woodland edge.
