Why choose us?
The natural history aspect of Bushcraft is something we excel at! It was the route in to the subject since childhood for John and many of the team who have studied tree, plant and fungi identification formally through Merrist wood college, the Field Studies Council and with many noted individuals including mycologists and botanists. Our other staff have all been trained through our leadership programme where huge emphasis is placed on this aspect. Choosing to learn this subject from us means you will be taught by real experts passionate about the subject and nature as a whole. You can also be assured that we have tried the things we talk about and are not just repeating the experience of others.

| What's
it about? |
| |
This course is aimed as an introduction to the world of wild food, focusing specifically on the remarkable world of plants and trees. Together with the wild food possibilities they offer, we will also explore their myriad of other uses. As well as providing a nourishing meal, plants and trees can also provide cures for ailments, refreshing drinks, or maybe something to clean your teeth with!
A key skill to finding wild food lies in knowing where to look. The wild food expert can enter a different habitat and grasp immediately the possibilities that area offers.
Different species are found in varied habitats and our day will explore woodlands and hedgerows, wetlands and lakes, farmland and disturbed ground.
The day consists of a non strenuous walk to identify and gather edible species followed by a late lunch and a chance to taste the wild foods gathered.
We will amaze you with what you can find if you know where to look, bark, roots, leaves, and flowers can all have wild food applications.
Peeling back the layers of both perception and our own heritage opens your eyes to the wonders of nature and a walk in the countryside will never be the same again! |
