What is it about woodlands that draws so many of us into their leafy lairs?
And why do the woods give so many people a sense of peace and inspiration?
The short answer is, I don't know.
But I can offer my own musings about the allure of woodlands...
And why the simplicity and peace of the woods seems to make a lot of modern life appear, quite frankly, somewhat fatuous.

Occasionally people ask me - where did my interest in nature and bushcraft begin?
My own personal journey into nature & bushcraft began in a local wood, when I was quite young.
That early exposure to nature left a vivid and profoundly positive impression that has persisted throughout my life.
It's my sincere hope that my own youthful explorations of nature and bushcraft highlight the potential benefits of nature-exposure for children and young people.
In this post I've tried to convey the emotional essence of my early encounters with nature and subsequently, bushcraft.
I hope you enjoy it.
In case you think this post is a sentimental journey into a nostalgic past - it's not.
I've also touched upon an all too common feature of the natural world - its deterioration and its all too often wanton destruction by humankind.
