Going on a nature trail is a great group activity to do with your friends or even family. It is also a great exercise in con-necting with nature.

To start with, you need to finalize a lo-cation most ideal for this. A nearby hill, mountain or even surrounding forests and green areas are perfect for this trip.

Once on the trail, keep an eye on your surroundings. You will find a variety of trees, birds, insects and lizards. Iden-tify some of these with the help of a guide. You will find that a number of these species aren't found around the city. Ask yourself, why this is so.

Sometimes even the colour of soil is different found in areas around nature. Take a sample of it and compare it with the soil you find around home. What vis-ible difference do you see?

Collect leaves of different plants while on your trail and get them im-printed in your colouring books with the help of water colour for some fantastic designs.
