Everything that Mark teaches can be found in his Secrets of the Forest book series. These books are available HERE and everywhere books are sold. These volumes share knowledge Mark has gained from more than 50 years of intense nature, and Native American studies, self-imposed survival trips, and teaching to thousands of students all across the country. If you are a student of the forest, primitive skills, survival lore, or a teacher of these subjects, these books were written for you (each book includes more than 100 detailed project descriptions.) And, if you are someone who enjoys reading about adventures in nature from the safe, dry space you call home, we think you will enjoy Mark’s stories and personal adventures, many of which are included among these pages.
Secrets of the Forest, a teaching legacy, by award-winning naturalist Mark Warren.
