The first idea was for a book that encouraged not only activities in the forest, but also to give children information about the importance of forests to us. All done from a child's perspective. I also thought of the idea of taking the reader on a journey through the life stages of a tree; from seed, to full grown, to its use after it falls in a storm and nature taking it over.
The other idea would be to follow the things that you can do in a forest, eg. wildlife, trees and plants, minibeasts.

This was an idea for younger children; a board book with simple bright pictures of insects. The book would be the shape of a butterfly and the page could turn in 2 halves. The child would have to match the insect with what it feeds on.
This was an idea of a book taking a child on a journey outdoors at dusk to spot the creatures of the night. There would be a window on one side with a pull out reveal of the creature. On the opposite page would be a group of lift the flaps, with information about the creature underneath.
This last idea is for a book encouraging a child to go on a Nature Trail hunt. Using lift the flaps on each page a child could discover mini beasts in the garden or on a walk and there would be information about each under the flaps. The repetitive use of Who lives here? could be used on each page. This helps the younger child to follow the book.
