The woodland Olympics!

Sent to new members joining now and existing members when you renew :O) 
 

A huge A1 size, hand-painted poster of the woodland Olympic stadium

The challenge chart records your progress through your 52 weekly nature challenges.

Each time you complete a challenge (sent by email on Friday afternoon), you can award a gold medal sticker to one of the competitors on the poster.

Count up the medals at the end of the year to see which group of animals top the medal table :O) 

In your year of Olympic adventures, you'll travel through the seasons discovering:

  • weightlifting ants
  • a conker-bowling badger 
  • boxing hares
  • leaf-munching caterpillars
  • a squirrel at the hazelnut shy 
  • racing snails
  • a snake slalom
    and 45 other sports!

Who else is at the woodland Olympics?

Along the way you'll also see the Queen Bee in her leafy royal box, a colourful kingfisher flypast, animal commentators, jugglers and stewards to name a few! 
 

The challenge chart shows how you're getting on with your weekly challenges, which are made fresh every Friday morning and change every week.
