Commencing January 2021, this 6 day course will run over 5 months.
This course is all about tree identification, enabling you to identify the most common trees in the UK. Not only will you be able to identify the trees, but you will also learn about their uses, including edible, medicinal, and practical crafts. This course is for anyone who wished they knew the trees around them. You will need no prior knowledge. All you need is a passion for trees and a willingness to discover. You will be introduced to over 30 species of trees, learning how to identify them in both their winter state and in leaf. Alongside the identification of a tree you will learn a little of its place in history and our culture. Trees have been an invaluable part of our ancestors' lives. We will teach you some of the skills used to make use of trees, teaching you safe use of sharp tools in order to get crafty and creative. We will supply all you need for the craft sessions. DATES, Jan. 16th, Feb. 13th, Mar. 6th, Apr. 24th, May. 8th, and 29th. Each day runs from 09.30 to 17.00.

Review.
'Walking with trees has been a great experience getting up close and personal with trees and learning both recognition in the different seasons as well as uses. I enjoyed both the observation elements and the practical elements of the course, having a go at making things with knives and using axes. Steve is a good teacher, bringing the subject to life and together with Lin, his wife, are very hospitable. Really enjoyed Lin's soup cooked over the campfire. The course was set in a beautiful peaceful woodland in easy reach of Tiverton.
I would highly recommend it.'
