Hi, I’m James Kendall, the Head Bushcraft Instructor at Woodland Classroom.
I've been teaching in outdoor education for 10 years now and I love trees and being out in the woods. I've created this course because so many people I meet have a real interest in trees but struggle to identify the many species we have in the UK.
With The Complete Tree ID Course you'll take a year long journey with me to becoming a fully fledged tree expert.
I really look forward to sharing my knowledge and experience with you.
