Awareness developed to the point of being native to your landscape means being so plugged in with your senses that you are no longer alien, but deeply connected to the natural processes of outdoor living. Experience the development of your physical senses in nature to the point of feeling at home and deeply connected. Notice the subtle signs that tell of changes in weather, the approach of a fox, or reveals the way back to camp.

Native awareness is knowing where you are in relationship to your landscape. We share skills in aid-less navigation, reading patterns in tree growth for useful information, field meteorology, tracking technologies, understanding animal and bird behaviors, natural movement, and reading the history of the landscape through it’s flora and geological features.
