Adventurer, Discoverer or Tracker?

We've been helping the National Trust at Stourhead in Wiltshire with their programme of Forest Fridays to encourage children to get back to nature with their 50 things to do before you're 11 and 3/4 challenge.  

The feedback has been really positive and we've been told the event has brought back many wonderful childhood memories for parents and grandparents alike.

We have helped to build dens, make mud pies, hunt for bugs, create wild art and explore inside a tree from the 50 things list.  All activities have been great fun.  It is amazing to see what the littlies can make with a little guidance and a lot of mess!

Fantastic den in the making

Making Mud Pies

Being outdoors is great fun and let's hope we can continue to encourage our children to climb trees, get mucky and respect the environment so this can continue for many future generations to come.
