People living in Welwyn Hatfield are invited to make the most of their spring walks with Nature Bingo.

The Nature Bingo, which can be found at one.welhat.gov.uk, encourages residents of all ages to explore the borough's woodlands, parks, nature reserves and green spaces.

There are 12 objects to tick off on the bingo card, including a pine cone, a Y-shaped twig and a tree in full blossom.

Devised by Welwyn Hatfield Borough Council, the Nature Bingo supports the Tree Council's #SpringInYourStep campaign, which urges families to walk more and spend more time outside appreciating nature.

The council recommends getting your steps in by visiting Sherrardspark Wood, which extends to around 200 acres and has some of the county's finest oak and hornbeam trees.

Residents can also take a walk through Northaw Great Wood, which is one of Hertfordshire's largest remaining historic wood pasture commons and is home to a range of woodland wildlife.

Hertfordshire Health Walks also offers a variety of free walks to suit all abilities and backgrounds. Most walks are Monday to Friday, with longer walks at the weekend.

You can view the timetable by visiting the Hertfordshire County Council website and searching 'Health Walks'.

The council is asking Nature Bingo participants to take pictures of what they see and upload them to social media tagging @welwynhatfieldboroughcouncil.
