Our countryside is packed with wild foods and useful plants – if you know where to look!

Almost every flower, tree and mushroom has a use and a story attached.

On this two day course you will live out in the woods, sleeping under a lightweight shelter and cooking over open fires.

You will be shown how to identify edible and poisonous plants, learn which species are good for medicine, cordage, making fire, insect repellent, natural glues, soap and even dyes. 

But it's not just a plant identification course - You'll also be shown how to prepare and cook wild game and fish using various wilderness cookery techniques.

To win two places on this course answer the question below:

Which of the following could help you treat a burn?

a) A hollow oak tree

b) Pine needles

c) A dead Dutch elm tree

Not sure? This quiz should give you a clue!
