Bushcraft courses will help you live the wild life

Local forest school natur ni (our nature) has teamed up with Orchid Meadows to offer personalised bushcraft sessions for adults and children staying in Tawny Little House, Red Kite Yurt or Goldfinch Glampavan and they are completely onsite.

You can choose between Wild foraging: Much more than just food! and Basic survival skills: How to thrive in the wild! Both two-hour experiences are delivered by experienced forest school leader Cath Moyle. They can be adapted for adults, children or both together.

Foraging covers the basics of sustainable foraging and the law, how to Identify a selection of common wild edibles safely, how foraged plants can be used in traditional, general medicine and first aid, and wild edible recipes to take home to add into your everyday dishes and drinks.

Alternatively, if the wild life appeals, you can learn survival skills including how to produce drinking water, lighting a fire without matches, building a basic shelter and, of course, foraging for food.

You can find details here and will also receive full information when you make a booking.
