SPAR National Tree Day - October 3rd 2024
Lá na gCrann – 3 Deireadh Fómhair 2024
Getting out into nature has many benefits for humans, so the more we get outdoors, the happier we feel. Some of us may prefer a walk to admire our surroundings, while others love stretching and doing yoga in the company of trees. Here are some fun activities you can do outdoors and indoors with your friends, classmates or family this SPAR National Tree Day.
Enjoy a Woodland Walk
Branch out into nature and spend some time walking through your favourite park, woods or green space. Check out the woodland walks that are being run as part of SPAR National Tree Day and learn how to lead your own tree walk here.
Make friends with a tree
Pick your favourite tree and learn about how it’s a good friend with our Tree Day poster here. Spend some time with it by reading under it, giving it a hug or planting some flowers under it.
Collect pine cones
Many pine cones can be found on forest floors at this time of year. Did you know that they can be the perfect addition to an afternoon of craft activities? You can use them to make decorations, or simply add a few drops of essential oil (with the help of a responsible adult) and store in a ziplock bag for one week, before arranging in a bowl to scent your home.
