Nature Detectives' Handbook (Woodland Trust)(Miles Kelly Publishing Ltd.)

An ideal resource for the budding David Attenborough, Nature Detectives Handbook is part of the Nature Detectives project, designed by the Woodland Trust to bring phenology to the under 18s. Fifty wildlife species are included, including trees, birds and amphibians. Each factfile not only gives vital identification tips with a wealth of detailed artwork, but also phenological data to help track the changing natural environment. Children are encouraged to follow in the footsteps of the renowned wildlife expert and television personality, Ray Mears, by exploring and understanding the world around them from their own garden to woods and nature trails further afield. Findings can be recorded online at www.naturedetectives.org, which contribute to actual scientific research.
