Woodland craft: Besom broom making
Come and make your own little besom broom using Silver Birch that has been harvested from the woods. The Ranger team will be outside in the plant centre to help you. These mini brooms will be perfect for collecting up fallen autumn leaves.

50 things
Autumn is a great time to check off several of your 50 things to do before you're 11 ¾. Our top choices for the season are:
1. Get to know a tree - take a closer look into the colourful canopy, or try and catch a leaf as it falls.
6. Go welly wandering - splash in some puddles or go on a woodland wander.
12. Have fun with sticks - use your imagination and see what you can create.
18. Create some wild art - the colourful fallen leaves and twigs are great for making pictures.
31. Make friends with a bug - check out what's under the damp leaves or wriggling on the soil.
