Explanations
- trees – Then there’s Holt Island, which is noted for its great range of trees.
- Friday/Sunday – The island is only open to the public from Friday to Sunday, because it’s quite small, and if there were people around every day, much of the wildlife would keep away
- farm – Longfield has a modern replica of a farm from over two thousand years ago.

15. For the activity on Wednesday.

B make sure they are able to stay for the whole day.
C tell the rangers before the event what they wish to do.
