Elder-Tree Adult Nature Connection Sessions

Have you ever wondered what children do all day at Forest School? Ever felt envious listening to their tales of delicious food cooked over the fire or wanted to have a go at carving your own walking stick?

This Autumn 2026, we are delighted to offer you an all-adult 'Nature Connection' programme of crafting, tracking, foraging, cooking, storytelling, connecting with the land and with each other, playing, and being still in nature. Take time out in nature for yourself. We will keep the group small so everyone gets the maximum benefit from their time.

Provisional dates: 5th September, 4th October (with a free guided nature walk around the 8th August)

Times: 11 am to 3 pm

Locations: Each session will be in a location around the Northeast Wicklow area. These are sites we use regularly and are easily accessible by car. We can help to arrange lifts or carpooling if needed.

What: The programme will include spending some time on basic bushcraft skills such as fire lighting, knife skills and foraging. We will hone our naturalist skills, including plant ID, tracking, and animal behaviour. We will explore our connection to the land and to each other playfully, through games, stories, and crafts. We will use all of our senses for deep nature connection practices. The Elder-Tree programme is an opportunity to step away from your usual routine, to relax, breathe, and learn something new, surrounded by beautiful Wicklow woodlands.

Rates: €70 per session, per person (discount for multiple bookings and booking two sessions). (If you would like to discuss paying in instalments, please email us confidentially at 3treeswicklow@gmail.com)

Programmes are run by Marc Barker, a fully qualified and experienced Forest School leader and co-founder of 3trees Forest School.
