Learn Bushcraft Vision
"Unfortunately, Learn Bushcraft isn't our primary focus—though we wish it were!
Our passion lies in inspiring more people to embrace the great outdoors and cultivate new skills.
While we'd love to provide these experiences for free, every endeavor incurs costs, and the landowner rightfully requires compensation for the use of this incredible woodland.
Our vision is to expand these facilities and offer a wider array of workshops and events in the future. There's much groundwork to cover beforehand—perhaps you'd be interested in joining us to help build and develop? we can offer free camping in return.
​
With a trained mental health first-aider on-site, we firmly believe that spending time in nature can significantly enhance mental well-being.
Securing funding would enable us to host a few gatherings aimed at offering assistance.
Could this be something you'd consider supporting? If so, please don't hesitate to reach out."
