Jonathon is an accredited and experienced Bushcraft Instructor and has worked with all ages and types of groups. He loves to share his passion of the British Countryside, and he delivers all his activities in a relaxed and accessible way.
‘The kids loved the freedom, my husband loved the carving, I loved the shelter building. Jonathon’s facilitation was creative, flexible and sensitive to people’s needs and abilities. The storytelling added a bit of magic, and sleeping in our shelter was the highlight. Thank you for our best holidays with the kids yet.‘
