- Make sure that you have permission to go into the forest.
- Make sure that you can find your way around. Get a map and go along with someone who is familiar with the area.
- Keep a record of the things you see and do. Observations make the visit interesting. Sketches and photographs are useful.
- You may record bird calls.
- Collect different kinds of seeds or hard fruits like nuts.

Make a record of approximate heights of plants, crown shape, bark texture, leaf size, and flower colour.
