Forest Schools need not be just for children. Here is the ultimate
guide for how adults can enjoy the benefits of outdoor learning
too. Have you always wanted to know how to start a campfire, forage
for (the right) fungi, or know how to tie a good knot? Or would you
like to expand your horizons - and lower your stress levels - by
building a dry stone wall, fashioning a bow and arrow, or
beachcombing for shells? Forest schools for kids originated in
Scandinavia as outdoor, play-based learning groups and, as the
benefits of nature play became internationally recognised, quickly
became established around the world. But why should kids have all
the fun? Connecting with green spaces, trees and plants can lift
our spirits, improve stress and relax our brains - in short,
playing outside is good for everyone. Forest School for Grown Ups
shows you can learn new skills and practise forgotten ones from
finding your way in the woods to whittling utensils and carving
sculptures; from trapping and smoking game to making and using a
divining rod, from building a bird box, or insect house, to simply
just climbing trees. Beautifully designed and illustrated, Forest
School for Grown Ups provides the perfect resource for anyone
wanting to enjoy spending quality time outdoors.
I want my readers to see the love, respect and deep bond that the
dog driver and dogs develop over a lifetime on the trail. To get a
feel of the quiet language spoken through the lines off the team.
Most importantly I want you to experience the courage and
determination that the sled dogs posses. They are the ultimate
adventurers. This story is written in both the voice of lead dog
Casper and dog driver Pat, giving the reader a unique insight into
the sport of sled dog distance racing, thoughts and emotions shared
by both man and canine when matched against the elements of Mother
Nature. What starts out as a simple sled dog race quickly turns
into something so much more for both Pat and his canine buddies and
you the reader. I hope you enjoy the ride with both the highs and
the lows of being out on the trail that "Song of The Runners," will
take you on.
