Backcountry Survival Ltd come to Laurels Wood

For years, Laurels Wood in Merseyside has been home to a thriving programme of bushcraft and outdoor learning. Its sheltered glades, diverse tree cover, and natural features have made it a favourite spot for groups seeking hands‑on experiences in the outdoors. Now, the woodland’s offering is growing even stronger as Backcountry Survival Ltd joins the existing programme to deliver additional high‑quality bushcraft training.

This collaboration isn’t about starting something new – it’s about building on a foundation that already works. Laurels Wood has long provided a space where people can learn traditional skills, connect with nature, and develop confidence in the outdoors. Backcountry Survival Ltd brings further depth, professional expertise and a wider range of course options to complement what’s already happening on site.

A Woodland Already Rich in Learning

Laurels Wood has earned its reputation as a woodland classroom. From youth groups learning their first fire‑lighting techniques to adults exploring natural navigation, the site has supported a wide range of outdoor education for years. Its quiet atmosphere and varied terrain make it ideal for practical, immersive sessions.

Backcountry Survival Ltd’s arrival simply adds another layer; more specialist knowledge and more opportunities for participants to develop their skills.

A Shared Commitment to Responsible Outdoor Education

Both Laurels Wood and Backcountry Survival Ltd share a strong ethos: outdoor learning should be authentic, safe and environmentally responsible. The collaboration strengthens that commitment. All courses continue to follow low‑impact principles, ensuring the woodland remains a thriving natural space for future generations.

Expanding Opportunities for the Community

With Backcountry Survival Ltd joining the programme, Laurels Wood can now offer an even wider range of experiences for:

• Individuals looking to deepen their bushcraft skills
• Youth groups and cadet organisations
• Families seeking outdoor adventures
• Corporate teams wanting resilience and team‑building activities
• Anyone curious about traditional skills and woodland living

Looking Ahead

This partnership marks an exciting step forward for outdoor learning in Merseyside. Laurels Wood remains the woodland classroom people know and love – now strengthened by the expertise and professional training approach of Backcountry Survival Ltd.

Together, they’re creating more opportunities for people to step into the woods, learn new skills and reconnect with the natural world.
