This is more than learning simply to forage, this is learning to see the woods through the eyes of the warrior, the druid, the hunter and the witch.
Blending foraging and folklore together takes the visitor on a trip into the past. Learning to identify trees, you’ll also discover their place in the Iron Age Brehon Laws and their uses from weaponry to boats and tools.
Rooting out healing plants on the forest floor takes you into the world of Druids, Wise Women and the Sídh of the Land or the fairies of Ireland.
Discover how people in the past used plants for everything from clothing detergent to dyes and inks, medicines, warding off Spirits and Fairies and so much more!
“The perfect mix of a nature walk with ancient Irish storytelling”
This gentle woodland experience will have you looking at trees in a whole new light! As we blend bushskills, foraging and storytelling with mind blowing facts like the “Wood Wide Web” how trees speak, see, and even count!
With your newly found appreciation and insight, you are then offered an opportunity to sit and listen, under the leafy canopy, to the gorgeous birdsong, accompanied by a complimentary bottle of Sparkling Wild About Nettle Cordial, a seasonal refreshment, made locally here in North Wexford.
Gift Vouchers are valid for any walk or workshop
“Excellent and enjoyable walk incorporating Irish history, foraging and a general knowledge about the Courtown woodlands. Highly recommend it. I’ve often walked in the woods but I will look at them in a new light going forward. Lorraine is passionate about conserving the woodlands and is a great storyteller.”
