Discover which plants are a bushcrafters best friend

Join us as we countdown our Top Ten plants in bushcraft. Which plants do you think will make the list? Get inspired for your own outdoor projects and boost your knowledge of our native landscape.

You will discover which plants make the best cordage, which provide great natural tinders, which plants we can cook our food in, which make a snug nighttime shelter and a whole host of other uses and benefits that these wonderful plants have.

Learn how to identify these plants, where to find them, what many uses they have and how they can be used in both in the field and for your back-garden bushcraft projects.

After our smash-hit Top Ten Trees of Bushcraft workshop, we had to follow up with this event and share with you this ancient plant knowledge.

You will get craft ideas to try yourself, top tips on how to harvest useful materials from plants and also wild food recipes you can cook up and enjoy.

The workshop is aimed at anyone who has an interest in outdoor life, whether you are a wild camper, bushcrafter, environmental educator, you will find lots of tips on how you can use plants in your outdoor life.

A ticket costs just £11 per household. These events are selling out quickly, so grab your place whilst you can 🙂 Everyone has loved these workshops so far and they’ve been really popular.

* Practical Bushcraft Ideas For You To Try

Our online foraging workshops started in the first lockdown and have continued to be a hit ever since, as people want to learn how to make tasty meals from the wild plants around them. Each month we host online workshops with a whole host of nature-based subjects including foraging, tree lore, woodcraft skills and wild medicine.

Your Tutors: Dave Watson & James Kendall

Dave Watson has over 30 years of bushcraft experience. He is the lead tutor at Woodland Survival Crafts. The business was established in 1995 following a 10 year career in outdoor activity centres.

Dave’s passion for ancient survival skills, or ‘bushcraft’ as it has become known, stems from his teenage years when he spent much of his time wandering around Britain in semi-wild places trying to live off the land.

Dave views the subject of bushcraft as an exciting and inspiring tool suitable for everyone, to teach life skills, environmental education, and history as well as being a perfect basis in which to impart sound spiritual lessons.

James Kendall is the Head Bushcraft Instructor at Woodland Classroom, having worked in environmental education & conservation for over 10 years. James’ approach to teaching  steers his 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.”
