Natural Objects

Natural objects are easy to collect because they can be found everywhere: shells, fossils, rocks, feathers, pine cones – there are thousands of things that people collect. Just make sure you have permission to do it!

Pros:

  • Free (if found)
  • Most natural objects are inexpensive
  • Most are small and easy to store
  • Good mementos of a trip
  • It’s easy!
  • It’s satisfying building up a collection

Cons:

  • You can never ‘finish’ collecting
  • Some collections can get quite heavy!
  • Most have no value (with the exception of fossils)
  • Removing natural objects may damage natural ecosystems
