About this word search
A walk through British woodland usually turns up at least one of these trees: Oak, Beech or Pine. The oak is often said to support more wildlife than any other native British tree, from insects to birds.
Badger and Fox are mostly seen at dusk, while Squirrel and Woodpecker are easier to spot by day. Fawn is the word for a young deer, and Ranger is the person who looks after the woods.
Words run across, down and diagonally in the fourteen-square grid, never backwards. Woodpecker and Squirrel are long, while Oak, Fox and Owl are short. On a walk, children can try to find a trace of each word, even if it is only a footprint or a feather.
