Heard the buzzword on Newsround? Win top prizes of celebrity signed wellies and fun science book
CBBC presenters Jake and Gemma sign up to recruit more Woodland Trust Nature Detectives
Do you know what animals are being blamed for stopping birds singing? If you do then you could win a fabulous pair of wellies signed by CBBC presenters Jake and Gemma and a copy of Nature Detectives’ Handbook, a fun science book that’s helping children play their part in monitoring the effects of climate change.
The Nature Detectives' Handbook will help identify species of birds, bugs, animals and bees. It's got space to include pictures of things you've spotted and colourful stickers so you can tick off different species when you've seen them. There’s also a poster. If you fancy becoming a nature detective Newsround has three copies to giveaway! And one lucky winner will also get some wellies signed by CBBC presenters Jake and Gemma!
Jake says: “The Nature Detectives’ Handbook is a great way to discover more about beetles, bugs and birds. It’s really important for us all to watch out for wildlife. See if you can spot some of the species featured in the book in your own back garden or on the street where you live.”
To see if you could be a winner visit Newsround’s website at news.bbc.co.uk/cbbcnews/default.stm and click on win. If you get stuck, check out their website for clues. The closing date is noon on Monday, 12 June. Gemma says: “The wellies are really cute and absolutely unique so get spotting and enter the competition to see if you’re a winner!”
