WILDERNESS LUNCH
A three course lunch surrounded by nature.


Build a simple wooden birdhouse out of recycled materials in our cozy workshop

Birds need our help as the decline of old forests has reduced natural nesting cavities. By building a birdhouse, you provide birds with a shelter for living and raising their young. Bring your loved ones and  have fun with easy handicrafts—all for a great cause.

Your birdhouse will be featured on our Birdhouse Map for you to follow the positive impact of your efforts!


Hang your newly built birdhouse in the local forest

Head into the local forest to explore the beauty of the bogs, the importance of old trees and the life of birds. This relaxed forest walk brings you the benefits of nature—it clears your mind and helps you reconnect with the natural world. Choose a tree and hang your birdhouse to support our flying friends for years to come!

Let us spoil you with the best of local wild food!

Relax around the fire while our professional chef prepares a three course wilderness lunch from local ingredients. This healthy wilderness lunch enriches your connection with nature by providing you with wild food from the surrounding forest as well as local ingredients.
