Wilderness Education

Outdoor settings are ideal for learning and allow us to connect with the natural world and ourselves

I offer bespoke woodcraft and wilderness education services both privately and publicly. I facilitate wilderness therapy groups and teach outdoor skills, bushcraft and fire craft in both one-to-one and group settings. I lead school visits, homeschool sessions, forest schools, site tours, corporate groups and events. I am an outdoor instructor at the Wilderness Foundation UK, a woodland tutor at local woodland learning organizations, and run woodcraft and wilderness learning events for community groups.

I would be delighted to hear how I can contribute to your next event or organization’s goals

I am happy to lead spoon carving and woodcraft workshops, bushcraft events, and fire craft workshops for groups young or old, big or small. I have enjoyed teaching at both children’s events and corporate team building retreats. If you are looking for a knowledgeable, person-focused outdoor expert to lead or assest with your event or group. Please get in touch!

  • “As an outdoor facilitator, working alongside Max demonstrated his power of creating a calming and comfortable setting when it comes to fire and knife skills with highly anxious individuals.

    His session offered a silent confidence which was spread across the group.

    His unspoken trust towards  both adults and young people, through body language and friendly discussion, created a feeling of belief in each step towards personal goals/outcomes.  

    I left the session believing his approach and skills challenged each individual beyond the mental stories they held which created a rewarding and positive environment/outcome.”

  • Max’s love for woodland crafts and nature is plain to see and his ability to gently inspire and support people in an outdoors environment is a real gift. One of Max’s greatest assets is his knowledge of all things woodcraft, including knife work and fire skills, but it is his ability to engage with others and his enthusiasm to share that knowledge that really stands out. 
     
    His energy is a rare combination of both incredibly calm and uplifting at the same time, and I feel very lucky to have had the chance to work alongside Max. I learnt so much in a short space of time, and came away from every woodcraft and fire skills session with a real sense of fulfilment.
     
    If you are looking for someone to inspire you in this kind of setting, then look no further!”
