Arm your class with magnifying glasses, notebooks, cameras and viewing jars and head out and about with these sheets to find out if your local trees are under attack. All sightings of the Great Spruce Bark Beetle or the Asian Longhorne Beetle need to be reported to your council. For sightings of the Horse chestnut leaf miner, report your findings to Forest Research here.

Use alongside the ‘Under attack’ lesson from the Woodlands topic.
