WOODLAND WILDLIFE WALK - Winter
These checklists are intended to focus the children on looking for aspects of the natural world around them on a wildlife walk.
The descriptions of each item are broad rather than specific so that there is greater scope for being able to complete each one. For example, the bird section can be ticked off when ANY bird is seen rather than a specific species.
The second sheet has spaces for small drawings/marks when recording what is seen.
