Relevance.
Currently, one of the first most important issues is the problem of strengthening the environmental awareness of every inhabitant of our planet. Direct contact with nature has been lost; people take everything from it, giving nothing in return. The barbaric attitude of both adults and children towards all living things leads to environmental disaster. Modern content educational – educational work with kids preschool age involves the humanization of everything pedagogical process. Today, environmental literacy, careful and loving relationship to nature have become the key to human survival on our planet. V. A. Sukhomlinsky wrote: “The world surrounding a child is, first of all, the world of nature with an endless wealth of phenomena, with inexhaustible beauty. Here, in nature, is the eternal source of children’s intelligence.” Very important with early years develop in children the ability to contemplate nature, enjoy it, peer and listen. Solving various cognitive - practical problems Together with adults and peers, children acquire the ability to doubt and think practically. Experienced at the same time positive emotions- surprise, joy from success, pride from the approval of adults - generate confidence in the child’s abilities and encourage a new search for knowledge. Collective experiences bring children closer to each other and to adults. We must not forget that it is necessary to cultivate a caring attitude towards nature, the desire and ability to see, hear nature, and receive emotional pleasure from its beauty and uniqueness from the very beginning. early childhood. Preschools they are meant to play in this vital role, ensuring full physical, mental and spiritual development, becoming at the same time educational centers for parents.
The essence of my project is to prevent indifferent attitude children to green spaces. Deepen their knowledge of the importance of trees in people's lives. Any communication with nature should contribute to broadening one’s horizons, the development of spiritual and moral personality traits, and the formation of a sense of responsibility for the fate of nature - a prerequisite for ensuring the environmental safety of not only our hometown, but also the whole country as a whole.

Our ancestors used birch beams to illuminate their houses. The sick were treated with birch sap. The wheels of the cart were lubricated with tar, which was made from birch. Wooden toys, wooden sculptures, spoons were made from birch; tueskas were made from birch bark (they carried water and kvass), baskets for berries and mushrooms. They wrote on birch bark. Nowadays, birch is used in construction, furniture, plywood, skis are made from it, yellow and green paint is made from birch leaves, and medicines are made from the buds.

Conversation “The relationship of wood with living and inanimate nature.”
Target: Deepen your understanding of the relationships between living and inanimate nature and the factors that influence the life of birch.
- Can a tree live without light? (Light, like an artist, colors the leaves green.)
- Does birch grow in an open or shaded place?
- Can a tree live without heat? (The amount of heat determines the beginning of the appearance of leaves on the trees.)
- What happens to trees in winter? (In winter, trees do not grow - they go into sleep. And the trees are protected from the cold by cork fabric, which does not allow either water or air to pass out.)
- What else can trees not live without? (Without water, they drink water like people. The tree receives water from rain, from melt water, and drinks it from the ground - the soil.)
- Trees, like us, need to breathe. They breathe through small holes on the leaves, so small that they are invisible.)
- Trees need fresh air: They die from dirty things. At the same time, the trees themselves purify the air, making it suitable for humans and other living beings.
- Does a tree need birds? (Birds eat various insects that can harm the tree.)
- The wind carries birch seeds.
- Earthworms participate in the formation of soil, “pass” lumps of earth and dry leaves through themselves, loosen the soil, making it suitable for the development of plants.
- Why do trees get sick? (This means that harmful insects have settled on the bark. This can be seen if you look at reverse side bark - passages made by pests.)
- How can you determine the age of a birch? (By bark: the older the tree, the harder and thicker the bark, so older trees can withstand frost more easily.

Conversation “The beauty of nature is priceless.”
Target: let children understand that no amount of money can buy beautiful tree. It needs to be planted and a lot of effort must be made so that it does not die, but takes root and grows. Foster love and respect for nature.

Kindergarten teachers great attention They focus on instilling skills in caring for plants, animals, and birds.
Wonderful teacher V.A. Sukhomlinsky wrote: “Man has always been and remains a son of nature, and what unites him with nature should be used to introduce him to the wealth of spiritual culture. The world surrounding a child is, first of all, the world of nature with an endless wealth of phenomena, with inexhaustible beauty. Here, in nature, is the source of children's intelligence. All children are naturally inquisitive. Their range of interests is very wide. Among the questions they ask us adults, there are some that are caused by various phenomena, objects of nature. To better understand all the living things that surround us, parents need to be more often in the field, in the meadow, in the forest, by the river, in the park, be able to see the beauty in everything and notice everything interesting. How the first leaves bloom, why the spruce tree is very green in winter, while others have fallen leaves. It depends on us adults whether a child will be inquisitive and how his speech develops. How bigger baby saw and understood, the brighter and more imaginative his speech, the more willingly he communicates with his peers, and the easier it is to come into contact with adults. The ability to express your thoughts helps you do better at school. He will actually be convinced that not a single phenomenon arises without a cause, on its own, and nothing disappears without a trace. In the process of systematic, targeted observations, the child learns to think and answer the questions “Why?”
And even though such work is complex and laborious, but as a result, the foundations of curiosity, inquisitiveness, the ability to think logically, make inferences, and conclusions are laid in the child’s mind from early childhood.
Children love to go to the forest with adults, don’t forget to say hello to him: “Hello forest, dense forest, full of fairy tales and miracles!”, and leaving to say goodbye to him:
The sun hides in the fog
The dense forest, goodbye!
You protected us from the heat
Gave me health and fresh strength
And he treated me to a treat.
We must always remind children that only those who walk slowly and step silently see and hear a lot, then they will see a lot, like leaves rustling, dew on the grass, a baby squirrel feasting on sweet strawberries, and birds feeding their chicks, and here is a hedgehog with hedgehogs. Play the game “Forest Smells” with your children. First, invite the children to smell what strawberries, moss, mint leaves, chamomile, etc. smell like. First, take 2-3 plants, and then more; the children will smell, and then find out with closed
What kind of plant does it smell like? Remember riddles, little poems about plants, signs.
They swept the anthill - watch the life of the ants, how friendly they are, they piled up in a heap on the caterpillar, dragging it to their house - they are clearing the forest of pests. Treat them with sugar or candy and watch how they love sweets.
You can go to the forest different time years and admire it, notice problems and fix them. Remove dry branches on the path, tie up a broken branch, plant a tree.
Those parents who treat nature and their child during a walk do the right thing. “Look how beautiful it is!”, “How white, fluffy the snow is today!”, “What do you think the cloud looks like!” etc.
After playing with the snow, children return home joyfully. It's warm and cozy here.
Often on Sundays pies are baked at home, and the bread store smells of bread. Give the children an impetus to think by saying the proverb: “A lot of snow, a lot of bread,” “The snow blew, the bread blew.” Show the children a grain field at different times of the year, explain why they say: “Bread is the head of everything”; This means that it must be protected. Tell me how many people work so that this fragrant loaf of bread comes to our table. Everyone, even the most Small child must save bread.
And whoever has animals at home, do not forget to feed them. First, dear fathers and mothers, join you, and then it will become a habit and your child will do everything himself.
The ability to see and understand another living being, the subtle movement of a child’s soul, depends on interest in a plant or animal - on the degree of development of observation, moral feelings. This is where responsibility for all life on the planet begins. When we, adults, say (don’t tear, don’t trample, don’t break, don’t touch, etc.) it is necessary to explain why “Don’t tear.” To expand and consolidate knowledge about ecology, it is necessary to look at pictures, observe the flora and fauna, and read fiction.
We must always remember to all adults and children that the Earth is our common home, a person living in this house must be kind, take care that all living things are well.

"Our planet Earth,
Very generous and rich
Mountains, forests and fields
Home is our dear friends!
Let's save the planet together.
There is no other like it in the world.
Let's raise clouds and smoke above it.
We won’t let anyone offend her.

We will take care of birds, insects, animals.
This will only make us kinder.
Let's decorate the whole Earth with gardens, flowers,
You and I need such a planet.”

- Our beautiful birch tree can predict the weather. Listen to the signs:
If a lot of sap flows from a birch tree in spring, it means a rainy summer.
If in the fall the birch leaves begin to turn yellow from the top, spring will be early.
The birch will open its leaves in front of the alder - the summer will be dry, the alder in front of the birch will be wet.
