Our story
Micaela
Micaela has been working as a bushcraft and forest teacher for adults and children for 4 years in the forests of England. Here she runs our English courses. Her first plant of identification all started with the humble plantain and grew into foraging for food and herbs for health and healing.
Aurélien
After obtaining my sports activity leader diploma in 2014, I packed my backpack and spent five years hiking in some of the most beautiful places on Earth, covering over 12,000 km on foot. My backpack filled with experiences, I've been leading survival courses since my return, during the summer and in tour guide in Finnish Lapland during the winter.
I'm a field guide, living outdoors 365 days a year, and I'm happy to share the knowledge and experiences I've gained over all these years.
We regularly use our wild harvests in our diet. I'm passionate about learning more about the traditional uses of plants and the forest. I have completed a course on edible plants with "Le chemin de la nature" (The Path of Nature).
