Our nature rubbing posts are really taking off! These are a simple way to engage with younger audiences. Our A4 backing panels feature simple information and a fun Did you know? The rubbing plaque is suitable for even very young children.

There are so many variations on this theme, some customers scatter letters around their site to make up the name of a local species, others develop nature trail worksheets to go with the panels.

Whatever your ideas, please get in touch and we will help you get a cost-effective nature trail underway. More information at https://www.theacornworkshop.co.uk/nature-rubbing-post
