We learned about the many invertebrate species that live in the soil, wood, leaves and plants and were able to identify and categorise animals such as worms, beetles, centipedes, wood lice and many more. While we were there, we picked up as much litter as we could find. The more we learn about our planet, the more we understand how we impact it in both positive and negative ways.
