The Riverside Centre was the venue for a Forest Education Initiative Skill Sharing Day on Friday 16th of September. Dodging the particularly heavy showers, participants were able to take part in a number of workshops including making natural cordage from sisal or nettles, carving spoons and friction fire lighting with Dryad Bushcraft. Bird feeders and gypsy flowers were made using draw knives and shaving horses with Dragonfly Creations while a variety of willow items were made with "Out to Learn Willow" Cooking on fires and fire safety workshops were provided by the Forestry Commission while Groundwork led forages for wild food.
The day was funded by the Neath Port Talbot FEI group, Groundwork and the Riverside Centre using Big Lottery money.
