This hands-on introductory course invites you to explore the subtle signs, clues and stories left behind by the creatures who share our woodland. Under the expert guidance of guest tutor Pete Morton ofRed Oaks Bushcraft, you’ll learn how to recognise and interpret footprints, gait patterns and the many other traces animals leave in their wake. From paw prints to feeding sign, hair fibres and scat, you’ll build a foundation in understanding who has passed by, when, and what they were doing. As you work through the landscape, you’ll develop your awareness and sharpen your senses, learning to use sight, sound and even smell to tune into your environment.
