What we’re about
This group is for outdoorsy people and those looking for micro-adventures in the wild! We'll be running foraging walks, bushcraft and survival courses, and wilderness hikes around the UK. Perfect for anyone with a reasonable fitness level who wants to get out and explore, meet like-minded people and learn some new skills along the way.

We'll be looking at seasonal fungi and plants in winter, spring, summer, and autumn. It's an easy walk around some lovely woodland, although it can be muddy so wellies or boots are recommended. No previous experience or plant/fungi knowledge is necessary. Open to all ages, and dogs too!
This is the winter edition, which will cover:
🍄Plants & Fungi
- We'll look at any seasonal plants and fungi we come across, including their edible and medicinal value, and bushcraft uses.
- We'll explore the link between mushrooms and trees (and other plants) and how this helps with foraging!
🌳Tree Identification
- Learn to ID common, widespread, native trees and shrubs.
- We’ll look at key identifying features on trees - not just the leaves!
- You’ll learn about the history and folklore of the trees, and their uses in bushcraft and wilderness survival.
