This article describes how a tree identification key is used by a visually handicapped student in a woodland survey. It also covers bird study based on a birdsong cassette with special commentary, and insect studies starting from galls and feeding-damage. The methods described are devised to encourage a questioning attitude in visually handicapped students.
