Failing to Plan is Planning to Fail Part III

At the end of the day we had one last job to do - cutting Willow branches for our Lecturer. At the outset of our adventure in nature with Fiona and Linzi we took part in a campfire cook out, roasting and toasting marshmallows on willow branches. During this earlier activity we learned a variety of skills, fire safety, using tools safely and also having fun and new experiences in nature! Our lecturer asked if we could help him to gather Willow branches as he was planning on introducing some other young people to the experience and we were only too happy to help! Working with Linzi and Fiona we selected appropriate branches, thinking about size and shape before safely removing them from the main body of the tree. It was clear to see that our confidence has grown like the seeds we have been sowing and this task was quickly completed. We talked about how Learning is a Journey and even though our time with the Invaluable Countryside Rangers may be nearing and end our journey into learning about the power of pollinators and nature is only just starting.
