My Challenge for you today is to look at how your garden or school grounds have changed since the beginning of lockdown.

Watch my video to find out how.

What you will need:
A camera or phone.

How to do it:
If you took photos at the beginning of lockdown of your garden or school grounds find them. Maybe you did some of the earlier Nature days challenges such as the mini beast hunt and pollinator survey.
Next look around your garden to see what has changed since then.
I bet nature hasn’t been in lockdown!
Count how many difference you can find between March and July.
Things to look for:
Flowers
Berries and fruits
New plants and weeds
Larger plants
Changes in the amount of plants and flowers.
Changes in the amount and type of mini beasts. You could redo your mini beast hunt and see if the results are different compared to in March.

If you are back at school after a long while, take a walk around the grounds. What has got bigger? What is in flower or fruit now?
What are the main changes and would you have noticed if you hadn’t been away?

If you have any before and after photos I would love to see them so please share on Twitter #Naturedays and tag me in @DawnNaturedays or on the Nature addy facebook page.
