Welcome to our 2009 programme of courses, camps and holidays! We invite you to deepen your relationship to the natural world in the capable hands of our wildlife and bushcraft experts. We look forward to welcoming you to the wilds of the Westcountry, and to sharing time in our beautiful woodland setting.

"We had a wonderful time. In such a short time all those senses we lose touch with living in London, came back - the ability to listen and hear sounds in the distance without being interrupted by traffic, just sitting quietly in the woods and watching nature wake up." SARAH BARCLAY
 
"Thank you for a fantastic night's camping. We hadn't done anything like this as a family before, and we really enjoyed every minute of it." THE HEAD FAMILY
