Trips to the woods are family outings that can complement what children learn in school, reinforcing a respect for the environment and providing them with resources to enrich their free time. To help children discover their local woods, the book explains what defines them, the most common species and the richness of protected spaces.  There are useful bits of information to help children enjoy themselves, such as the best shoes to wear, how to orientate yourself and ideas for making necklaces, seating areas and puppets, all from what you find in the woods. And as for taste, there’s a recipe section for making meals with the products you’ve found: blueberries, wild strawberries, figs, snails, mushrooms, blackberries, nuts… with a beautiful selection of photos and illustrations that will delight everyone.
