Some of the things happening in nature this month...
It's important for our mental health to stay connected with the natural world, even during the darkest, coldest months. While some species have flown south or tucked themselves away for the winter, you needn’t do the same.
Step out into that crisp winter air and take a wander through a woodland. Notice the details which are unveiled now that the trees stand bare. Look for intricate cow parsley stems sparkling with frost and laced with frozen spider webs. Peer between the tree trunks to spot a deer, nibbling frosty brambles, who lifts her head to stare back. Discover a range of fascinating bracket fungi clinging to naked trunks and branches. Take time to absorb and appreciate a magical winter wonderland with these special sights and more.
