This is an invigorating day for all ages
to try out the outdoors skills that will make future days in
nature much more fun! It will be an enjoyable and gentle introduction
to the world of Bushcraft, looking at some of the basic skills
necessary to feel at home in the great outdoors.
Bushcraft is about how to survive and thrive in the natural
environment, using nature’s resources in a responsible
and sustainable manner. Bushcraft reaches far beyond the realms
of survival, teaching how to read and utilise the natural world
in a way that can only add to the outdoors experience.
In a friendly and accessible way, we will play with some of
the basic Bushcraft skills, including firemaking, shelter building
and the use of cutting tools, as well as bringing awareness
to the natural world around us.
Location: This day will take
place near Totnes, Devon.
Times: 10am - 4pm
