Not only does mapping enhance your sense of adventure, but it also develops important skills such as orientation, navigation, and spatial awareness. It encourages you to explore new terrain, discover hidden pathways, and appreciate the beauty of the landscape from a new perspective.

Tracking: Unraveling Nature's Footprints

Imagine walking through a dense forest and stumbling upon a trail of footprints in the mud. Tracking enables you to become a detective, piecing together clues left behind by animals and deciphering their movements. It allows you to gain insights into wildlife behavior, understand their habitat preferences, and even identify the species present in the area.

Tracking involves observing and interpreting tracks, scat, feeding signs, and other evidence of animal activities. This activity not only sharpens your observational skills but also promotes a greater appreciation for the interconnectedness of ecosystems. Through tracking, you become more attuned to the subtle signs and harmonious relationships between different species.

Learning to track animals also enhances your ability to anticipate and appreciate encounters with wildlife. It heightens your senses and cultivates a sense of respect and responsibility towards their habitats. Furthermore, sharing your tracking experiences can create a ripple effect, inspiring others to protect and conserve the natural world.

Journaling: Capturing Nature's Essence

Journaling is a timeless practice that enables us to preserve memories, reflect on our experiences, and gain a deeper understanding of ourselves and the world around us. When it comes to nature, journaling allows you to capture the essence of your outdoor adventures, record your observations, and reflect on the significance of your encounters.

By writing in a nature journal, you can document the sights, sounds, smells, and textures that make each expedition unique. You can describe the colors of an autumn forest, the sounds of birdsong at dawn, the feel of moss beneath your fingertips, or even the taste of fresh spring water. Through journaling, you create a tangible and personal connection to the natural world.

Journaling also serves as a tool for self-discovery and self-expression. It enables you to reflect on the emotions and thoughts elicited by your interactions with nature. It encourages mindfulness, deepens your sense of gratitude, and nurtures a sense of wonder and awe for the world we inhabit.

Open your senses, step into the great outdoors, and discover the secrets that nature holds. Through mapping, tracking, and journaling activities, you can enhance your connection with the natural world, sharpen your observation skills, and gain a deeper understanding of the intricate web of life. So grab your map, put on your tracking shoes, and pick up your journal. It's time to embark on a journey of discovery, where nature unveils its secrets for those who are willing to open their senses.

Children will see the natural world around them with brand new eyes, as they learn to follow its signs, hear its language, and understand its secrets. With this unique and compelling book written by expert environmental educator Devin Franklin, kids aged 8 to 13 will build their own relationship with nature through finding a “Sit Spot” — an outdoor space in the backyard, in a field or in the woods, in a vacant lot or a city park — where they can stop, observe, and become familiar with the flora and fauna that live there.
 
From the Six Arts of Tracking (Who, What, Where, When, Why, and How) and making a habitat map to walking in smooth silence like a fox and learning the basics of bird language, exploration exercises lead young readers on a fascinating journey of discovery as they watch, listen, map, interpret, and write about the sounds, sights, scents, and patterns they encounter. With journaling prompts, map-making activities, and observational tracking practice throughout, Put On Your Owl Eyes is an interactive and thought-provoking guidebook.
