Walk through
the forest
Forests are exciting places, but it can be
very easy to lose your way in them. These
helpful hints will show you how to navigate
your way through a forest. Always make
sure you stick to the forest code! Look for a river or stream.
Follow the water
Towns, villages, and campsites
are usually built next to a river.
By following a stream or river
downstream, you are likely to
come across a settlement.
Find south.
Use the Sun
As well as a compass, you can
use a watch and the Sun to find
south. Point your watch’s hour
hand at the Sun. The halfway
point between the hour hand
and 12 is south.
Find north.
Look at the lichen
Lichen and moss can help you get
your bearings, too. They usually
grow better on the north-facing
side of trees, as they like shade.
