Our 1 day foraging courses are for anyone who’d like to gain an insight into the
edible delights of the British hedgerow and woodlands. So if you’re curious
about the plants, berries and fruits that grow around you and wonder which you
can eat and which you need to avoid, come and join us!
On our foraging courses the focus is on edible plants, nuts, berries and fruits
commonly found in the hedgerow and woodland. Note that what we find and forage
will depend on the time of year you come along.
From the meeting point we’ll take an amble along the tranquil lanes of the
stunning North Downs Way and look at common plants, hedgerow fruits, berries and
nuts that can be eaten; we’ll collect some as we go. We’ll also point out any
plants and berries that are poisonous so you know what to avoid.
From the hedgerow we’ll move into ancient woodland and look at different plants,
again collecting as we go.
When we arrive at our ancient woodland camp, we’ll have a refresher on the
plants we’ve collected before settling in for the afternoon and cooking them.
Everyone gets their own dish to cook and contribute to the banquet.
About us and the venue
Jack Raven Bushcraft was founded in 2011 and we've been delivering bushcraft,
craft and foraging courses since then from our 30 acre private ancient woodland
on the Kent Downs in an area of outstanding natural beauty.
Courses in the summer are held outdoors in our woodland camp complete with
covered work areas, an outdoor kitchen and a composting loo. Courses in the
winter are held in our workshop in a converted barn.
Whilst we don't have many reviews on Craft Courses, we have hundreds on our
website, Facebook page and Google Business page, take a look for yourself!
