Forest Manna Outdoor's (FMO) survival instructors have a wealth of outdoor knowledge and are extremely diverse with regard to their wilderness survival & forest interpretive skills.  Practical  work experience gained while serving as career Combat Arms Soldiers, Special Wildlife Officers, State Park/Forest Superintendents, and Division of Natural Resources Forest Naturalists can be expected.  In fact, FMO is currently in a collaboration with the WV Division of Natural Resources, State Parks & Recreation Section to bring exciting wilderness survival workshops to several of our resort state parks and forests.    

     Moreover, undergraduate and advanced graduate science degrees (biology & forestry) with emphasis on the natural sciences such as forestry, dendrology, zoology, field botany, wildlife biology, wildlife management, forest insects, ornithology, etc. round out the formal education and skill sets of FMO Survival Instructors.

     For over 20 years FMO instructors have taught outdoor skills to both civilians and soldiers, the Boy Scouts of America, and church & civic groups; both individuals or organizations. 

     The forest can be unpredictable and your safety is our priority.  Therefore FMO survival instructors are properly vetted to address participant safety & first aid, sustain instructional quality and accuracy, and maximize your education and entertainment. Rest assured, you will get your money's worth with FMO!

     If you’re tired of the same old boring weekends of cabin fever, it’s time to get out in the woods and do something productive and relaxing; educational and entertaining.  All workshops are currently offered in the Eastern mountain region of West Virginia and are priced perfectly to accommodate a tight budget!
