About Woodlore

The School of Wilderness Bushcraft

Established 1983

It is our firm belief that Wilderness Bushcraft has something of value for everyone; hopefully this is reflected in our programme of educational courses that has evolved over the twenty five years we have been operating. At Woodlore, course development is a never-ending process as we endeavour to bring the subject to a wider range of student.

Wilderness Bushcraft encourages us to a much greater cultural tolerance and to notice more keenly our effect upon the world. We believe that this ancient outdoor knowledge is most important to our futures.

As realists, we do not hold to any restraining dogma, but accept the arrival of new technologies while tempering their use with more ancient wisdom. After all, who is the better prepared hiker - the one with the global positioning navigation device or the hiker who can use the new equipment but can also rely on their ability to read natures signs for direction? In truth, the older skills enhance the most up-to-date while the newer skills simply validate the knowhow of our ancestors.

As you will soon realise, bushcraft is the art of the possible.
