WILD Woods 'n Willow near Chagford has announced its 2014 programme of events.

The team of environmental educators teach youngsters and families about nature with a range of practical, sensory and playful activities outdoors from fire making and shelter building in the woods to knife work and cooking in the outdoors.

Children will also learn how to feel at home in nature and have closer encounters with wildlife.

They work with a number of local primary schools, cater for all ages from eight upwards and run special days for teenagers as well as summer wilderness camps and their popular bushcraft birthday adventures.

Linda Lemieux said: 'We offer enjoyable outdoor experiences that help young people engage with the natural world and improve their understanding and skills while opening up opportunities for things to be different.

'All our activities also seek to foster authentic feelings of community.'

Essential bushcraft days for eight to twelve year olds start on Monday, February 17 with a fire and tracking in the woods event. Other bushcraft days run in May, June and October.

There will be teenager days on May 29 and October 26, and a family day for all ages on Sunday, May 11.

The summer camps run for teenagers from July 26 to 29, and for eight to twelve year olds on July 30 and 31.
