Without a Trace
Students get to try their hand at a range of different survival activities such as fire lighting, shelter building and making natural water filters. Each activity has a focus on how to survive in the natural environment without leaving a footprint. Students will learn about our ancient and protected woodlands, why the Parks Trust cut down some trees but not others and what impact climate change is having on the water bodies in Milton Keynes.
