Sussex Woodsman - Traditional skills in a digital world.

Sussex Woodsman was established by Mark Emery to help preserve the old countryside/woodland crafts & skills and ultimately to pass on these skills, along with the appreciation & understanding of the natural world and it's wealth of renewable resources to the local community, schools, individuals, youth groups and businesses.

During Mark's tenure as an outdoorsman, he has studied the natural world and the renewable resources it offers in an effort to understand and preserve the knowledge and the wealth of skills and crafts that are quickly being forgotten in our throw away world.

Whilst Mark has been fortunate enough to learn from indigenous peoples around the world, it is the British countryside that he holds dear and he spends many hours in the woods and countryside practicing and refining his existing skills and importantly learning new skills from the craftsmen & women who have used them on a daily basis, all of their working lives.

Mark truly feels that it is an honour, to be able to pass on what he has learnt from his peers and the indigenous peoples he has worked with, as well as the knowledge gained from his own experiences to the next generation of outdoorsmen & women, and hopes that in time, they too, will be able to pass on the same countryside skills and knowledge of the natural world to future generations, so they too, may enjoy the richness of life Mark has enjoyed and continues to enjoy today.
