IMPORTANT
All participants are expected to practise best hygiene and social distancing at all times. We appreciate that people have varying views on coronavirus, but we ask that all participants respect our rules and remain vigilant at all time during the course. Please be mindful of others and if you do have a cold or any flu like symptoms we ask that you do not attend the course. Please bring your own hand sanitisers.
******************************************************
This is a 5 hour Crash Course with plenty of information for everyone to help them to get started on their journey of sustainable foraging and bushcraft skills.
NOTE: Be sure to bring a notepad and pen, as you will need to take LOTS of notes to keep up with the volume of information you receive.
Being a Crash Course, the idea is to cram as much info re edible and medicinal plants into a short time frame. So be prepared for A LOT of info.
While there are commonalities between the Crash Courses throughout the year, there is always plenty of new information and plants to learn about as the seasons change.
Jake has purposely made the Crash Courses affordable and straight forward to allow people to access them throughout the seasons and get a much broader view on the incredible diversity the land provides. Most courses are attended by participants that have been on many of Jake's courses before, and the feedback we often receive at JCB is that there is always loads of new information.
Please make sure you book in advance as these Crash Courses always sell out!
Held at Ironbark Bushcamp in the picturesque rural town of Mangrove Mountain (approx 60 minutes from Sydney)
** PLEASE READ BEFORE PURCHASING TICKET: **
These courses are suitable for ages 13+. Sorry no younger kids - Jake also runs his family courses throughout the year.
It's worth noting that this is in a fairly remote area where there is no electricity, no amenaties (pit toilets) and very limited phone reception. It would be worth making arrangements to let friends and family know that you may not be contactable for the duration of the course.
The location is not accessible by public transport, therefore coming by car is strongly recommended. Jake will meet everyone at a nearby location to lead you into his bushcamp.
Please also note that no dogs/pets are to be brought into the area.
