Conduct a practical natural tour
• The group goes on a nature-based tour of the local area, with each participant having an opportunity to be the tour guide and speak about an natural heritage using the skills they have learned about guiding.
• The other participants play the role of tourists and must behave like typical tourists (e.g. asking questions). At the end peer feedback is provided to assess the success points of the tour and where improvements could be made.
