Ida Fabrizio is a Master Scyther and will use her broad set of training techniques to give everyone a basic understanding of what scything is, it’s benefits to nature, and how to use the tool properly and safely.
Ida will cover:

How to set up an Austrian scythe for your height and posture and how to use it to cut grass and weeds. You will be shown techniques and how to use and move your body to use the scythe. Along with learning to scythe you will also have an introduction to peening and scything maintenance and sharpening and the health and safety around these activities.

Bring your own lunch and refreshments.
Booking essential, please email info@ouwg.org.uk
