30 Days Wild Blog Day 13: Hug a tree

Today's challenge is super simple: hug a tree! Don't just hug any tree... embrace one which has a special meaning to you or go exploring a green space near you to find an interesting one. From height and leaves to trunk and bark, trees have personalities - choose one which appeals to you. 

How did hugging the tree make you feel? Could you get your arms around it or did you need others to join in? Did you feel more connected to nature?

If you want to remember the moment, why not bring along a piece of paper and a pencil to do a bark stencil? You can also turn your special tree into a tree guardian using the instructions in the activity sheet below.
