Book SynopsisPerfect for keeping your keen naturalist busy! Take this book to the back garden, the beach or the park and start helping nature now!
In Nature Needs You, four friends begin a year of discovery learning about the amazing animals, plants and places that make up our natural world.
As the year goes on, the children talk to lots of different people, from park rangers and environmentalists, to teachers and grandparents. They learn lots of things about the natural world, from facts about biodiversity, food chains and climate change to pollination, plastic pollution and ecosystems.
Includes step-by-step activities for how to make a bug hotel and a bird feeder.
Throughout the book, there are Take Action advice panels, which give examples of small ways that people can get involved to help protect nature. Get Busy activity suggestions encourage children to be actively engaged with nature, by birdwatching or planting wild flowers
