Learn to Scythe

Learn to Scythe with an Austrian Scythe 

Wandlebury Country Park 

The lightweight Austrian scythe is an excellent tool for managing areas such as wildflower meadows and around trees. 

You will learn how to select and set up a scythe to suit your stature and the basics of mowing and sharpening. There will be ample time to practise and you should be a confident mower by the end of the day. 

The course will be taught by Richard Brown a professional scythe tutor 

(www.wildscythe.co.uk) assisted by other skilled scythers. 

The cost for the day is £75 per person including the hire of scythe equipment for the day. Please tell us your height when booking so that we can ensure that we have a suitable scythe available. Scythes will also be available to buy on the day. 

Tea and coffee are provided but please bring your own refreshments and packed lunch. We will, of course, be working outside so wear outdoor clothing and dress for the weather.
