| Autumn is a stunning time of year, with the most beautiful array of colours. It’s also a wonderful time of year to connect with nature and enjoy all her splendour! And the National Trust has a lot of colour to offer!
Autumn is a lovely time of year to enjoy the colours of nature - the reds, rusts, oranges, browns, crimsons, greens - all a joyful sight. It's a time for kicking the leaves in the air, seeing if you can catch them as they fall from a tree, doing leaf art when you get home, watching the wildlife prepare for winter - and coming home to a lovely, warming cup of tea with a yummy piece of cake, or stopping off at a coffee shop for something scrumptious!
Can you help wildlife in your garden? You could find you have your own nature show to enjoy if you do!
9 Ways to Connect with Nature The National Trust has a number of ideas of ways you can connect with nature. - Get a glimpse into October with this extract from Every Day Nature by Andy Beer.
