We had a great weekend to finish off the year at Hatfield Forest.
The weekend was dedicated to our Diploma students who have just commenced Level 2 of the programme.
For most, level one was completed in the summer and the weekend saw the commencement of level 2 practical skills.
This included axe skills led by JP where the different types of axe and there uses was covered. Of course safety aspects, carving and axe use techniques were also covered as well as sharpening techniques.
In the afternoon Pablo gave an introduction to bird tracking.
Having a course weekend at this time of year wouldn't be complete without the requisite festive drinks and chicken curry cooked up by JP himself.
Thanks to all those who came along and our new assistant Austin who provided the base-camp assistance.
