Welcome to O.W.L. Outdoor Wisdom and Learning

"Nature provides for those who have the seeing eye. There is food, drink and the wherewithal for living anywhere, for those with Outdoor Wisdom and Learning." My name is Christian Fox and I am the Founder of O.W.L.-Outdoor Wisdom & Learning. I have been interested in living off the land for nearly thirty years. In 1995, I qualified as a teacher and spent over ten years working with a wide range of children in a wide variety of subjects. For several years I also ran a survival club for small groups of the children after school. I then finished classroom teaching and pursued a career delivering Outdoor Wisdom and Learning to all members of society. By combining over a decade of teaching experience, with nearly three decades of experience outdoors, I can provide you with hands-on sessions that are detailed, allow you to learn at your own pace and build your confidence up. By doing sessions in this way I aim to pass on my love of the outdoors!

Qualifications and Venues.

I am a Qualified Forest School Leader, have attained the ITC Outdoor First Aid certificate, possess an Enhanced CRB form and I am a member of the General Teaching Council (GTC) & The Institute for Outdoor Learning (I.O.L.). O.W.L. has several sites around the county of Staffordshire that the various courses are conducted at, however, it is also possible for me to come out to locations like schools or private venues.
