October

How many trees can you name?  Do you recognise a tree variety from its leaves, nuts or seeds? I think we all wish we had better knowledge of our natural surroundings, and this month could give you the chance to get to know your green neighbourhood giants a little better!

Clear up and tidy! A bit of thought and action now will prevent trouble next year.
