🍁🍂Nature on Your Doorstep, Go Walking, Go Explore & Get Building an Inuksuk.

What is an Inuksuk 🤔
An Inuksuk is a powerful symbol of the Canadian Arctic, a stone structure that resembles a human.👤

🍁Traditionally inuksuit (plural) have been built by the Inuit to act in the place of messages.
🍂The Inuksuit (the plural of inuksuk) can point the way, express joy, or simply say: welcome.
🍁There are many other meanings associated with the built structure that can be explored such as: to show the correct direction to go, to mark a safe passageway, mark a good resting place, identify a family home or to keep the children entertained while out walking.

🍂Now is the perfect time to stay local and explore what is on your doorstep.

It is Sunday morning and we have a great idea for some activities for you today.

Síolta the Squirrel is back with a whole new set of outdoor Nature on Your Doorstep challenges, especially for Heritage Week and with his 6 NEW adventure sheets, there is lots of fun to be had regardless of the weather or where you are.

Download your activity sheets from the news section of our website and have fun exploring!

We love the Map Your Walk Challenge. Walking in your local area is a great opportunity to notice things that maybe you wouldn’t have noticed before. It is easy to walk by things every day and not actually see them. Mapping your walk is a nice way to take note of what you have seen and record it in a fun way.
