Just thought I would share this with you.
I was browsing the Essex Wildlife Trust's website and was thrilled to see a selection of 'countryside' courses held at their various Visitor Centres.
So far, I have signed up for a 'Fungus Foray', a 'Hedgerow Harvest' and a 'Basket-making' course. Also, a day-course which teaches you to make Christmas wreaths from hedgerow trees/plants and a course about 'natural Christmas decorations'.
Most courses are a couple of hours and a donation is requested.
I am so excited as I have always wanted to learn to identify mushrooms:j.
It might be worth checking your local Trust site to see if there are any in your area.

P.S. I am not affiliated to the Wildlife Trust in any way but will certainly look at membership now.
