Do you like spending time in nature?
Would you like to learn some new skills?
If you are aged 16-25, and live on Skye, then you might like to join us and LearnWild this summer!
We will be working closely with Cathryn at Species on the Edge to run a series of sessions designed to develop young people's skills.

You can help us decide how we spend our time and budget, but we'd love you to help us deliver something great for nature and our local community.

Please get in touch if you want to know more!

The last day of A.C.E Academy at Bayfield Community Woodland in Portree for this programme

The group from Portree Primary School have thrived and really brought our their wild side!

In the beautiful late Spring sunshine we finished off our handmade Bow and Arrow sets and tested them on the range, stuffed out faces with roasted Marshmallows and ‘the best hot chocolate ever’

As always as the sessions draw to a close we present a certificate to the gang!” for all they have achieved this year!

More exciting A.C.E Academy woodland projects coming up in 2023!

Week 4 of A.C.E Academy at Bayfield 2023

Handcrafted Archery

We started by sourcing the bow material, (Willow clippings headed for a chipper) and stripping the bark, the bark made great improvised warrior head dresses!

Next was to cut the notches and measure up for Bow strings

We will be fine tuning and testing the Bows next week at our campfire party for the last week of our block of woodland adventures with Portree Primary!

10 local youngsters making Bows and Arrows in the woods, the perfect mashup of different A.C.E branches, A.C.E Target Sports and A.C.E Academy

Oh yes, we also installed the new Owl Box! Busy Busy Busy!

Week 3 of A.C.E Academy @ Bayfield 2023!

The rule of 3.

Did you know that in a survival situation you can survive for three hours without shelter, three days without water and three weeks without food!?

This week the Bayfield Woodland was a remote Island and our team have to practice the rules of survival in a rainy afternoon in the middle of the Portree Jungle

First job, Tarp Shelters, (There are tarps on this Island)

Second Job, Collect rainwater from the tarp, We will look at filtration methods in the future

Third Job, Fire on and crack open the emergency biscuits!

What a crew!
