Biodiversity Sheet - Animal Signs and Winter Seedheads

Sometimes it is easier to identify animals and plants if you can see a lot of images at once instead of looking through a book. These double-sided, 11 X 17 inch, laminated sheets allow the viewer to scan through 53 colourful images in a flash. We have field tested most of these on all ages, from preschool to retirees, with great results - everyone loves them! Some are organised to cover specific habitats and some concentrate on specific groups of organisms. The sheets also make great placemats.

Even in winter you can see the diversity of animals by looking for the signs they leave behind. Feeding sites, egg cases, chew marks and nests are everywhere. And those pretty field flowers aren't done in the winter, either. They have special seedheads to help get their seeds spread around. Can you recognize goldenrod, asters, teasel, milkweed and yarrow in the winter?
