The emphasis on this course will be to learn how to make and then use some traditional native weaponry such as bow/arrow making, sling-shot, flint/stone/obsidian flint arrowheads, throwing stars, throwing sticks and spigots (bone dart missiles!)

We will consider the associative skills of the hunter and study the art of getting close to wildlife through elementary tracking exercises, and discover the tracks and signs left behind by the diverse range of species that inhabit the wildwood. Time will also be spent cultivating silent movement skills to enjoy wildlife observation at close quarters.

All food is provided on this event.
