Welcome to County Durham Woodland Education Service or CDWES for short.

We operate bushcraft and woodland experience activities for people from all walks of life and levels of experience.

Learn how to build shelters, forage for food and light fires using the skills of our ancestors.

We run 1 day introduction to bushcraft courses and 2 day 1 night survival courses.

Courses run in our privately owned woodland just 6 miles from the center of Durham.

To find out more click on the courses leaf in the left hand menu bar.

We are proud to announce in association with Rock-iT climbing the introduction of a new activity in our woodland.

Lazer Wars, State of the art combat simulation using infra red weapons.  A pain free alternative to paintball. More details can be found at www.lazerwarsne.co.uk.
