Identify trees and know their uses


Trees are a really important resource in bushcrafts. Each tree species has different properties that make it useful (or not!) for particular tasks. This activity will help you identify the main species of trees growing in our area and you’ll learn what you can and can’t use them for. We’ll cover:
  • Quick and easy identification features for each tree
  • The properties of greenwood
  • Bushcaft uses
  • Other uses
Duration: 3 hours
 
Cost: £50 for two people (£25 each); £10 per additional group member.

Activity leaders are qualified through the Institute for Outdoor Learning to teach bushcrafts and are CRB checked.
