Bushcraft Bus promotes nature reconnection through wilderness education
The Bushcraft Bus, a mobile wilderness education initiative, aims to help individuals reconnect with nature through practical skills. Founded by instructors Jim Todd and Tom Young, the project offers foraging walks, survival workshops, and woodland dining experiences across southern England.
This initiative addresses a lack of nature connectedness in the United Kingdom, which ranked 55th out of 61 nations in a recent global study. The program targets people who do not identify as extreme survivalists or wellness enthusiasts, providing accessible ways to engage with the outdoors. Participants learn various skills, such as identifying King Alfred’s Cakes (cramp balls), a fungus that can serve as a fire starter.
