The children explored the area and its beautiful Autumn trees, as well as mulching rowan berries, planting horse chestnuts and native tree saplings. They learned about the underground fungi network (mycorrhizae) and how this helps trees communicate and spread important information.

They worked collaboratively to build a bug hotel in time for the incoming winter, as well as a hibernaculum for the lizards and amphibians. And on top of all this, they put their building skills to the test, making different sized dens to shelter in - some of them were very cosy!
