Bushcraft is not just about survival, its about everyday life skills and the understanding of the natural world. From fire lighting and tool use to foraging, herbal medicine and cooking in nature. So if you would like to spend more time outdoors, getting closer to nature, learning new skills and learning what plants you can eat, then Bushcraft is for you!
On our one day Bushcraft course you will learn all the basic skills needed to start your journey in Bushcraft and get more connected with nature.
