For thousands of years, our ancestors lived immersed in their environments. Come, explore the many skills and techniques used all over the world to survive. Through recreating the equipment and skills used, we hope to gain a better understanding of our natural environment, and be equipt to sustain in it. We are a group of people getting together to share, learn and practice ancient bushcraft techniques and technologies. Practicing the old skills such as fire by friction, shelter construction, edible and medicinal food harvesting and preparation, bark containers, basket making, packframes, tool construction, flint knapping, pottery, traditional tanning, as well as many more ancient outdoor living skills. Our purpose is to reconnect with nature through recreating our ancestors skills and crafts. All experience levels are welcome.

Edible and Medicinal Plant Walks


Dates: negotiable
Thursdays: 9:30am to 11:30am 

As the flora grows, we will study it.  There is much wisdom locked up in the natural world.  The more time spent, getting to know our surrounding vegetation, the more our health and vitality will benefit.

 This is a study group that is passionate about the flora and fauna in our local surroundings.  We will meet regularly to study a variety of ecosystems, in a variety of places.  The focus is around learning the edible and medicinal qualities of the plants through using all of our senses. We will make medicine and cook wild food dishes together.

 Bring any field guides you may have or any other relevant botanical works. Also bring a notebook in which to catalogue your findings.

 Learning is augmented by doing it in collaboration with other people, so I look forward to spending time, and learning with everyone.

 Dates and Times are under construction, so please comment or e-mail regarding a date and time that works for you.
