SUMMARY:Identifying Native Trees
DESCRIPTION:[vc_row full_width=”stretch_row” el_class=”innerpage-rowgraphic”][vc_column width=”2/3″][vc_column_text css=”” el_class=”inner-pagetitle”]When you’re out walking\, have you ever wondered\, “which tree is that?” \nDo you know your alder from your elder? To many people our hedgerows and forests can look like a sea of green\, but if we look closer and understand the clues trees give us\, we can unlock their identity and so much more. On this one-day course\, we’ll show you how to identify trees in summer by looking at leaves\, developing seeds\, fruits\, bark and other clues. We’ll also look at the different uses that trees have\, their place in the ecosystem and dive into a bit of woodland folklore. You will also take away your very own set of field guides covering common trees in all four seasons. This handy resource is perfect for continuing your learning and practising tree ID after the course is done. \nJoin James\, who will be your tutor for the day. He has worked for many years in and around trees from managing the largest Community Woodland in Wales (300 acres\, no less) to introducing children to the wonder of woods with his Forest School work. James has also introduced thousands of students to the subject of tree identification through his popular online programme The Complete Tree ID Course. \nAt lunchtime\, share a hot campfire brew together at the woodland fire circle\, sheltered under the canopy of native trees. You’ll learn about the restorative woodland management that is happening on site and how wildlife is returning to this special place. Your course will all be set against the beautiful backdrop of the mixed ancient woodland and parkland of the National Trust’s Chirk Castle estate with over 600 acres of nature to explore and veteran trees over 500 years old.[/vc_column_text][vc_column_text css=””] \n\nGain confidence in identifying a range of common native & naturalised tree species\nRecognise differences between similar looking species\nLearn to use leaves\, fruits\, seeds\, bark and other seasonal signs\nDiscover medicinal and edible uses for trees\nUnderstand how trees grow and their value to wildlife\nReceive your bundle of Tree ID Field Guides\nGet access to a discounted place on The Complete Tree ID Course\n\n[/vc_column_text][/vc_column][vc_column width=”1/3″]		[vc_column_text] \nEvent details\n[/vc_column_text][vc_column_text css=”” el_class=”white-text”]Date: Sat 28th June 2024 \nTime: 10:00am – 4:00pm \nVenue: Chirk Castle \nCost: £45[/vc_column_text]Book now		[/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column][vc_single_image image=”14473″ img_size=”full” alignment=”center”][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row full_width=”stretch_row” el_class=”row-graphic-white” css=”.vc_custom_1573054760131{background-image: url(https://woodlandclassroom.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/11/background-texture.jpg?id=12328) !important;background-position: center !important;background-repeat: no-repeat !important;background-size: cover !important;}”][vc_column][vc_row_inner content_placement=”middle”][vc_column_inner width=”1/3″][vc_single_image image=”31771″ img_size=”full” alignment=”center” css=”” el_class=”wd-circle-image”][/vc_column_inner][vc_column_inner width=”2/3″][vc_column_text css=””] \nTREE FIELD GUIDE BUNDLE INCLUDED!\n[/vc_column_text][vc_column_text css=””]Everyone attending this course also gets a FREE field guide bundle including 4 seasonal cheat sheets; summer\, autumn\, winter and spring.

James’ approach to teaching steers students toward fostering a deeper connection with nature through understanding the landscape around us; “Bushcraft skills are an effective way to do this as we learn how to make use of natural materials and live lightly with the land\, whilst also connecting with our own ancient past by seeing the land through the eyes of our ancestors.” \nIn 2017 James received the Bushcraft Competency Certificate awarded through the Institute for Outdoor Learning after 2 years of teaching experience and practical study. He is also a member of the IOL Bushcraft Professional Practise Group. The group aims to promote best practice in the growing industry of bushcraft activity providers.[/vc_column_text]Find Out More[/vc_column_inner][vc_column_inner width=”1/3″][vc_single_image image=”14193″ img_size=”full” alignment=”center” el_class=”wd-circle-image”][/vc_column_inner][/vc_row_inner][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row full_width=”stretch_row” css=”.vc_custom_1573143170656{background-color: #6c7d4d !important;}”][vc_column][vc_column_text] \nSkills you will learn\n[/vc_column_text][vc_column_text el_class=”cream-text”] \nOver the course of the programme you will learn a range of skills\, including… \n[/vc_column_text][vc_row_inner][vc_column_inner width=”1/4″]\n\n	\nTree & Plant identification   [/vc_column_inner][vc_column_inner width=”1/4″]\n\n	\nReading the Landscape   [/vc_column_inner][vc_column_inner width=”1/4″]\n\n	\nNature Connection   [/vc_column_inner][vc_column_inner width=”1/4″]\n\n	\nHedgerow Foraging   [/vc_column_inner][/vc_row_inner][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row el_id=”book-now”][vc_column][vc_column_text] \nBook now\n[/vc_column_text][vc_column_text] \nThis course costs £45 per person and is open to adult learners aged 16 years and over.
