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 day you will learn a range of skills\, including… \n[/vc_column_text][vc_row_inner][vc_column_inner width=”1/4″]\n\n	\nUnderstanding Habitats   [/vc_column_inner][vc_column_inner width=”1/4″]\n\n	\nTree & Plant identification   [/vc_column_inner][vc_column_inner width=”1/4″]\n\n	\nSharp tool use   [/vc_column_inner][vc_column_inner width=”1/4″]\n\n	\nGreenwood crafts   [/vc_column_inner][/vc_row_inner][vc_row_inner][vc_column_inner width=”1/4″]\n\n	\nCampfire Cooking   [/vc_column_inner][vc_column_inner width=”1/4″]\n\n	\nNature Connection   [/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	\nWildlife Identification   [/vc_column_inner][/vc_row_inner][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column][vc_single_image image=”30314″ img_size=”full” alignment=”center”][vc_row_inner content_placement=”middle”][vc_column_inner][vc_column_text] \nWhat is Coppicing?\nThe future of woodlands relies on effective management\, just as a garden needs constant maintenance and care to thrive. Trees must be thinned to grow well and invasive species like bramble have to be managed so that they don’t dominate other plants. \nSo what is coppicing? Well it’s is an ancient form of woodland management\, that involves repetitive felling of the same stump\, near to ground level\, and allowing the shoots to regrow from that main stump. Coppicing creates a variety of micro-habitats within a woodland which become homes for specialised wildlife such as dormice (above) and butterflies. \nCoppicing also produces loads of useful timber products that are still used today. Woodlands that have a reason to be managed\, perhaps for timber\, firewood\, access or green woodworking\, are more likely to receive care and attention long into their future\, and indeed those woodlands that we have today have survived precisely because they have had an economic value to the local community\, “the wood that pays is the wood that stays.”[/vc_column_text][/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 is aimed at adults aged 18 or over. We can accept students as young as 16 years\, but they must be accompanied by an adult. This course costs £47 per person.

If an alternative woodland venue is chosen then this will be within the Wrexham area\, and you will be informed well in advance. If you have any questions about this\, please ask before booking. \n[/vc_column_text][/vc_column][/vc_row] \nShare on FacebookTweetFollow us
