Workbook Moons Moat Nature Trail
“Brass Rubbing?”

Our Nature Trail offers you the opportunity to “rub” the metal plaque on

each marker post with a pencil or wax crayon to copy images which can
be found here.

How to “Brass Rub” the Nature Trail Plaques

You will need this workbook or blank sheets of paper, wax crayons or
soft pencils (several in case they break), a soft brush or cloth and, if

possible, masking tape.

Gently brush or wipe the plaque to remove any small pieces of gravel,
grit and dust.

 Hold the page of the booklet or spread a sheet of paper so that

it completely covers the plaque and keep it in place with
masking tape when you start rubbing.

 Rub the paper gently with the wax crayon of your colour choice.
Using the side of the crayon makes a wider rubbing on the

plaque. Enjoy seeing the image being re-created.

 When your rubbings are completed, remove the tape and close
the book or roll the paper carefully so that it is not crumpled.

 Make sure you clean up and take all your rubbish with you – so
that all who follow you will also feel welcome to visit.
