Connecting with nature this autumn

Use your senses to...

See the trees around you, their display of colour as they prepare for winter

Catch a falling leaf before it hits the ground

Smell fallen leaves

Grab a handful - lift them to your nose. What does it smell like?

Feel the smooth surface of a conker

Hear robins singing from hedges, trees and bushes

Taste freshly picked apples - eat fresh, preserve or try a new recipe

Get outside and ...

Gaze at the moon and the stars

Help nature thrive...

In your garden or volunteer for conservation work

Plant a tree

Put up a bird feeder and table

Build a hedgehog feeding station

Create wildlife ponds

Scatter and sow wildflower seeds

Build 'bug hotels'
