About me
The iconic landscapes of the New Forest National Park are my stomping grounds, and I love being guided by its seasonal rhythms and wilder places. It’s a connection that deepens year on year. When you allow your curiosity to guide your observations and reflections, you’ll often be rewarded with new ideas, that ‘spark’ of excitement and a fresh perspective!
I’ve been working in the field of environmental and conservation education since 1997 and specialise in outdoor learning in school grounds, family-friendly nature experiences and guided walks. I spent 10 years as a New Forest Ranger, and I continue to help people find out about the Forest’s history, traditions, wildlife and management through my work with Wild Heritage, set up in 2013.
Testimonials
It’s always wonderful to hear kind words of support and encouragement about my services and I’m grateful that I can share my perspective of nature to help inspire joy and wellbeing in others.
Thank you so much for yesterday’s Halloween Wild Foray event. Both my husband and daughter really enjoyed the morning with you.
Erin really found the craft great fun, and on our walk she was explaining to her grandparents all the fungi and hedgerow facts. Thank you again. We look forward to attending more events when we return next year.
Madeleine Watts
I was so deeply touched to receive the beautiful and thoughtful floral tribute, accompanied by such poignant words. I walked with Willow every day in the New Forest and cherish these memories.
What a wonderful way to show you are thinking of someone that has lost a beloved companion, knowing the times they shared in the magical heathland.
Shelley Filby
Thanks for the insightful walk on Saturday Sally. We both enjoyed your company and appreciate the extra knowledge you bestowed on us!
