Hi All,
I was wondering if you could assist me. I have recently become a Forest School leader and renewed my love for the outdoors. I left the Army in the summer and started a business trying to switch on disaffected youth through outdoor education. I am trying to improve my own skills in the outdoors to pass on to the next generation. I would love any information or assistance. I am based near Dudley, West Midlands but travel a lot, mainly up to Manchester and around the Wyre Forest. I have some basic knowledge and trying to turn what I have seen and read into physical achievements, without having to carry a rifle and go on stag!
I have started ID of trees and berries which has lead me to attempt a few wood based projects such as whittling a knife, crafting a spoon, other green woodwork and making a few benches and chairs. I am eager to learn and would appreciate any help.
Ben.

I lived down those ways until recently. There are a couple of local meet-ups in the england-mid section of the forum you may want to try
