A POP-up nature trail has been created in woodland near Ilkley to encourage people to explore and learn about their environment this Christmas. Staff at Nell Bank Outdoor Education Centre have been busy hiding QR codes in Middleton Woods. There are twelve in all, which can be scanned with a mobile phone to unlock their secrets. Dan Goodey, Head of Centre at Nell Bank said: “Middleton Woods is a fantastic place to explore. We have taken children in there every day to enjoy learning about their natural environment. “This Christmas, when families are able to be together for a few days, we wanted to create a covid safe but exciting reason to visit your local woods and enjoy being outside.
