Keeping a nature journal is a great way to record the things you see out in nature. Here we provide simple craft instructions so you can make your own journal, but you could also use an empty notebook or collect the information digitally.

If you keep up the habit, you will quickly build up a record of your local wildlife and surroundings. Your findings could even help scientists monitor wildlife changes.
