About Jersey Bushcraft
Jersey Bushcraft was founded by Harry and Simon, who first met while training on a Ray Mears bushcraft course. With teaching experience, including at Highlands College and with Jersey Adventures, they have created dedicated programmes for wilderness skills on the island. Jersey Bushcraft delivers expert, professional instruction in campcraft, foraging, wild cooking, and outdoor survival. Every course is designed to build confidence, wellbeing, and connection with the natural world, whether for individuals, small groups, or corporate teams
Sessions:
Bushcraft Fundamentals
Duration: three hours An introductory session covering the essential principles of bushcraft. Participants will develop practical outdoor awareness through skills such as tarp set-up, fire lighting, natural navigation, expedition planning, and an introduction to kit essentials. Designed to build confidence in the outdoors, this course provides a strong foundation for further bushcraft training.
Forgaging and Wild Cooking
Duration: three hours This session explores the rich wild larder of Jersey’s woodlands, hedgerows, and coastline. Participants will learn to identify seasonal wild foods, understand their traditional uses, and prepare simple but flavourful meals over an open fire. The session promotes nature awareness, connection with the landscape, and a deeper appreciation of sustainable outdoor cooking.
