What's it about?
 
This course is aimed at the Forest School practitioner who wants to build upon their practical outdoor skills and who wants to increase confidence and competence in the woodland environment . We hope by the end of the 2 days you will have learnt a sufficient amount of techniques that you can pass on and use with other supporting staff. One early morning session will be provided allowing you to practice certain skills at your own pace. Although camping is optional we will be working into the evening and we are certain you will gain more from the course if you sleep and 'feel' nature for 48hours - especially in a shelter!
