Hi, I’m James Kendall.
I'm the Head Bushcraft Instructor at Woodland Classroom and I've been teaching in the outdoors for 10 years now.
I am the Head Bushcraft Instructor at Woodland Classroom. I have been teaching in environmental education & conservation for over 10 years now. I received the Bushcraft Competency Certificate awarded through the Institute for Outdoor Learning after 2 years of teaching experience and practical study. Before setting up Woodland Classroom Ltd I was the Project Manager for Long Wood Community Woodland, the largest community-owned woodland in Wales, overseeing the management of 300 acres of broadleaf and conifer forest. I am also a former Director of Llais y Goedwig, the voice of community woodlands in Wales.
My approach to teaching has always been with an emphasis on steering my students toward fostering a deeper connection with nature through understanding the landscape around us.
I have always had an affinity with woods, being most at home amongst the trees, and I hope to share my passion for trees with you through these online courses.
"James' passion for trees shines through and the level of observation and detailed knowledge make these videos a valuable tool for anyone wishing to build on their understanding of our precious countryside."
- Dave Watson, Woodland Survival Crafts.
