Hornbeam (Carpinus betulus) is one of my favourite tree species, which is good because we have lots of it in our ancient woodland in Kent!
Here’s a short video where I discuss some of the identification points for hornbeam and also some of the bushcraft uses for hornbeam.
We take a walk around our woodland looking at trees and their uses, including the bushcraft uses for hornbeam, on many of our courses, such as our2 Day & 5 Day Bushcraft Courses as well as the IOL Bushcraft Competency Course.
You can see plenty of photos from all of these courses on our Facebook page.
