Tree size
• You also need to record data on the size of tree trunks and the length of leaves, use the following two tables to record those data

Leaf data
• Measure the lengths of any oak, beech or sweet chestnut leaves you find
Oak Beech Sweet Chestnut

Survey time
• Now go with your teacher to carry out your survey
• If you cannot identify the tree in the field then bring a leaf back and we will try to identify it in the classroom

What did you find?
• Identification of trees is difficult, here is some help. Log on to the internet and try this link, you will need a leaf from the tree you want to identify

Results
• Write down your method (what you did). You need to write it in a way so that somebody else can go and do exactly the same survey
• Make a neat table of your results

Graphs
• You need to make some graphs of your results, consider
• Bar graphs: these will show how many examples of each type of tree there are
• Pie Graph: this will show the proportions of trees there are

Final Questions
• Do we need to do more to look after the woods?
• Should we consider ways to get more students using the woods (would this be safe)?
• Should we add more woods?
• Should we cut them down for buildings or playing fields?
