Cox Family start their award!

Over the next month we are going to attempt our Family John Muir Award - we’ll spend 24 hours outside undertaking some challenges and activities covering the four themes of Discover, Explore, Conserve and Share in order to complete the Discovery level of the award. We’ll do this around our local area and know how lucky we are that we live within the boundaries of the Loch Lomond and the Trossachs National Park. Today we took part in a scavenger hunt around Callander. We found all the points and did the challenges and read the facts about bats, geology, and wildlife. We found lots of different types of trees including ash, sweet chestnut, oak and beech and also loads of beetles and different types of birds on the river. During the listening challenge Joseph heard birds singing, cars, children laughing and the wind. We didn’t see any deer or red squirrels unfortunately - maybe cos we were being too noisy!
