GREENBOW FOREST SCHOOL TRAINING

Greenbow Training UK Ltd is not currently running any new courses, however its co-directors Maria Sprostranova and Richard Skrein are continuing the Greenbow legacy through their exciting new initiatives:

Richard is still offering inspirational and transformational Forest School Level 1,2 & 3 training (sprinkled with plenty of that old Greenbow magic!) with the award-winning charity The Garden Classroom.

Richard continues to work outdoors with schools, charities and community groups and would love to hear if you are interested in collaborating. He is also busy writing two new books - sequels to 50 Things to do in the Wild and out in November 2022. Keep up with Richard on Instagram at @richardskreinoutdoors and at richardskrein.com

Maria is running a wonderful and cutting-edge programme of CPD and skills-development wild days for adults ran by the leading voices in Forest School in the UK - find out more at www.greenwisepeople.co.uk and get in touch with her via info@greenwisepeople.co.uk // mobile: 07737 644 119.

She also continues to consult, train and work with schools on taking their learning outdoors - her dream of making Forest School and Outdoor Learning truly inclusive and available for all. She will be offering level 2 and 3 training at Ham Lands from June 2022.

Due to unforeseen medical reasons, Patrick Harrison - founder of Greenbow, has been unable to train with us since September 2019. He is in recovery and is doing well - working hard to getting back to where he belongs - in the Great Outdoors.

We, his UK partners, Richard Skrein and Maria Sprostranova, continue to support all Greenbow trainees from 2019 onwards in London and endeavour to pass on that Greenbow magic he so beautifully created.

50 Things to Do in the Wild

A book by Richard Skrein (released on March 23rd 2020)

Explained with expert, easy-to-understand commentary from Greenbow’s Richard Skrein, and illustrated throughout with captivating drawings by Maria Nilsson, this trusty guide will teach you all the essential skills you need to survive in the great outdoors. The book is divided into four main chapters reflecting elemental skill sets:

Earth - this chapter focuses on toolcraft, foraging and natural resources. Learn how to make a bow, arrows and a mallet; identify essential plants and trees and their medicinal properties.

Air - this chapter focuses on shelters, knots, navigation and the sky. Learn the secrets of selecting the perfect wilderness camp; master knots and lashings; and discover how to read nature's 'GPS'.

Water - this chapter focuses on finding, drinking and using water, fishing and rafts. Learn how to purify water for drinking; suss out the skills needed to fashion a fishing rod; and make a sail for your handmade raft.

Fire - this chapter focuses on making and using fire and cooking food. Master the art of building a fire, set your own signal fire and build a Swedish fire log.

The book also explains the items you need to ensure your rucksack is kitted out with the best equipment for exploring. With extra tips and a rundown of useful tools, you'll find everything you need to get out there, have an adventure, survive and thrive in the great outdoors.
