Food, medicine, tools, the list is endless yet few of
us truly appreciate the role plants, trees and woodlands
have played and continue to play in our development.
This is the key to fundamental bushcraft knowledge and
once you know how to identify your species, you can
then apply this to create pretty much everything you
need. Whether you just enjoy the woodlands for walking
your dog, or spend time living remotely in the outdoors,
there is always something to offer. The woodland, its
trees and hedgerows will become your sole source of
needs. From plants to cure your ailments, a refreshing
drink, a nourishing meal, or maybe a plant to clean
your teeth with! We will amaze you with what you can
find if you know where to look! Bark, roots, leaves,
fungi and plants all have a natural uses (from glue
to soaps and plasters) and we aim to explore these with
you.
On
our travels through the woodland we will discuss their
creation, their history, ways of managing them and use
some detective skills to enable you to gain an understanding
of the history of your local woodlands.
Our
native woodlands are truly beautiful and magical places.
This course will open your eyes to the wonders of nature
and a walk in the woods will never be the same again!
