Bushcraft Day at Abriachan (27/04/10)

Highland Council’s Inverness Rangers will be getting outdoors this weekend and are inviting people to join them to practice at the ancient skills of Bushcraft.

On Saturday 1 May from 2pm - 4pm, people will be able to try their hand at building a shelter, foraging for wild woods and fire starting under the expert eye of Bushcraft practitioners.

Katy Martin, Senior Ranger for Inverness said: “This is a family friendly event to practice the basic skills required for surviving in the wild.  It’s great fun to try”. She added, “Abriachan Forest is a rich source of all the materials you need to survive. People have been using these skills as long as they have lived here”

This is a joint event between The Highland Council’s Rangers and Abriachan Forest Trust. There is a cost of £3 adults and £2 children/concessions.

 Participants need to book a place as numbers will be limited. To book a place or find out more information, please telephone 01463 710786

This family friendly event is organised as part of The Highland Council’s Planning and Development Service countryside events programme
