Ranger Hamza's Eco Quest

Ranger Hamza and the Ramblers discover how allotments play an important role in the environment. They find out why they are great places to grow fruit and vegetables, explore a compost heap where worms and birds live and spot a water butt which recycles rainwater. On the way, they enjoy the peace and quiet of the allotment, before planting some potatoes.

Ranger Hamza and the Ramblers discover how dandelions play an important role in the environment. They find out how they spread their seeds in all sorts of places, that they have amazing roots called tap roots and learn how bees and other insects love the dandelion's nectar. On the way, they visit a flower shop and help some dandelions find new places to grow by blowing on them.

Ranger Hamza and the Ramblers discover how acorns play an important role in the environment. They find out how tiny acorns can grow into giant oak trees that live for hundreds of years and that acorns are a great food source for animals like squirrels who bury them to eat in winter. On the way, they spot a woodpecker's nest in an oak tree and learn that oak trees support more life than any other tree in the UK - all thanks to the tiny acorn.

Ranger Hamza and the Ramblers discover how the wind plays an important role in the environment. They find out that the wind makes waves on the sea and that it can help boats and birds to travel more quickly. On the way, they spot a washing line with clothes drying in the wind and blow some bubbles to show how the wind helps seeds to grow in new places.

Ranger Hamza and the Ramblers discover how dead wood plays an important role in the environment. They find out that even though the wood is no longer alive, dead wood is a home for animals, insects, birds and fungi, and learn that dead wood breaks down to give nutrients back to the soil. On the way, they have a game of tag by an upright dead tree called a snag!

Ranger Hamza and the Ramblers discover how hedges play an important role in the environment. They find out that hedges are a shelter for all types of animals and insects, and that they can help reduce air and noise pollution. On the way, they look closely at what's living in a hedge, before pretending to be animals looking for a hedge to hide in.
