Record your adventures
January is a great time to begin a diary but you can start at any point in the year. Decide how you’ll record your experiences of nature: will you use words, pictures, sounds or a mixture of everything? You could even write a poem or a story about your adventures.
Find yourself a diary, a scrapbook, or a sound recorder – and get started. Make a note of all the things you’ve seen and done in nature, whether it’s a picnic in the wild, rolling down a huge hill or getting to know a wild animal. Which activity did you enjoy the most?
You could even set yourself a target for the number of new animals you’d like to see this year. Count them up at the end of the year – how did you do?
