About Me

I’m a forest school leader, forager and environmental educator from Bristol. I have a passion for the natural world and getting others to reconnect with it. I have become fascinated with the topic of societal rewilding and am going to embark on a journey to learn and educate others on this topic. My ambition is to reconnect children and adults to the natural world and help to rewild our society, so together we can look towards a healthier and brighter future for all.

What a wonderful group of humans! Late summer hol What a wonderful group of humans! Late summer holidays are the one 😊
🍍PINEAPPLE WEED🍍 I've been experimenting th 🍍PINEAPPLE WEED🍍 I've been experimenting this week with pineapple weed and came up with this vegan flapjack recipe which is whole lot of delicious sticky pineappley goodness. Pineapple weed is a common weed that loves poor compact soils, so is often found in parks, along pathways and roadsides. It has a similar appearance and health benefits to that of chamomile. Here are just a few of its many health benefits: - good for digestion - reduces stress - can be used as an insect repellent - it contains antioxidants which can improve skin health This weed can be used to make teas, used raw in salads or as I have done harvested and made into a syrup. I used this syrup to make these beautifully sticky flapjacks. For more info on this amazing weed and the flapjack recipe, follow the link in my bio. Happy weeding! . . . . . . . . #foraging #foraged #wildfood #freefood #freelocalfood #simplelife #connectwithfood #newrecipes #healthyrecipe #reconnectwithnature #slowfood #seasonal #seasonalfood #foodfoodfood #thegoodlife #wildsoul #eattheseasons #nature #bristol #foodie #homestead #slowfoodmovement #wildfoodlove #herbalism #getoutdoors #folk #rusticfood #wildernessskills #pineappleweed #foragedbaking
TREE CLIMBING The benefits of tree climbing for c TREE CLIMBING The benefits of tree climbing for children are numerous, yet often they are discouraged or made to feel fearful of this activity. Children love to challenge themselves, and getting up off the ground and out of their confort zones is vital to a healthy development. Climbing trees is good exercise, is fun and gets children closer to nature. Allowing children to take risks, (in a controlled manner) will help provide long lasting memories and trigger development of a multitude of skills such a self awareness, self regulation, confidence, resilience and problem solving. For those of you who know me, I'm pretty tall (5ft 11), so you can see how high the girls had climbed. Look how nonchalant poppy looks - it's no biggie right? This will have grown her confidence and self belief enormously, and also gave her sister the courage to give it a try. The ultimate tree climbing goal would be to find a special climbing tree that can keep hold of all these memories, and be returned to time and time again. This will be a treasure in a child (or adults) life. Did you have a special climbing tree when younger? Or do you still now? No reason just the kids get to have all the fun! . . . . . . . #gettingoutside #getoutinnature #getkidsconnected #getoutdoors #natureconnection #natureconnectedness #naturetherapy #outdoorlearning #powerofnature #nature #outdooractivities #forestschoolactivities #rewildourchildren #rewilding #forestschoolleader #forestschoolforall #forestschoolideas #forestschooling #forestschooleducation #forestschoolskills #treeclimbing #riskyplay #takerisks #trees
1 YEAR REFLECTION It has been 1 year since I star 1 YEAR REFLECTION It has been 1 year since I started life rewilded and what a unexpectedly joyful year it has been. It has been a year of learning and discovery. A year of connection with both nature and a community. Social media generally gets a bad rep and although I agree, there are lots of negative sides of social media, with intention and purpose it can be used as a force for good. I have learnt so much from the people I have connected with on this platform, and collaborations and opportunities that have arisen as a result of this. I have found purpose and drive in inspiring others to enjoy, experience and reconnect with parts of nature they had previously overlooked. It brought me joy when someone, who previously had never noticed fungus or plant life around them, would send me photos or questions, seeking information or to simply to show me what they found. I hope during this year I inspired people to see. And with seeing comes an awakening that leads to fulfillment. Here's to another year of connecting more deeply, learning, discovering and adventuring. To continue to rediscover, reimagine and release that wild part of us all. 🥂 fellow nature nerds . . 📸 Creds - @jacksebdavies . . . . . #natureheals #natureconnection #natureconnectedness #naturetherapy #2021 #nature #outdoorlearning #powerofnature #rewilding #reconnecting #rewildyourself #rewildourchildren #1yearanniversary #1year #learningoutside #learningaboutnature #seemore #connect #community #naturecommunity #naturenerds #wildlife #protectnature

BLACKBERRY DYE The blackberries are out and that BLACKBERRY DYE The blackberries are out and that means the purple fingers and faces are too! There are so many amazing things you can bake, make and create with blackberries, but did you know you can make a natural dye with them? This is such a fun and easy activity to do with kids. Simply pick a few blackberries, you only need around 10 to make a vibrant purple colour, add a bit of water and get bashing! You can then add any white material to produce a lovely pinky, purple effect. We made flags in the forest today, and as you can see the kids were pretty chuffed! Of course you can't pick blackberries and not eat any, so we finished the session with a hot blackberry compot on pancakes! Delicious 👌 I'm not quite blackberried out yet, what are some of your favourite recipes for using these hedgerow delights? . . . . . . . . #forestchool #forestschoolactivities #rewildourchildren #rewilding #forestschoolleader #forestschoolforall #forestschoolideas #forestschooling #forestschooleducation #forestschoolskills #learningoutside #outside #nature #outdoorlearning #montessori #letthemexploreandlearn #newskills #wildchildren #wildkids #wilderness #wildandfree #wildernessskills #campfirecooking #craftswithkids #ecocrafts #bristol #leighwoods

MAGIC The forest was filled with magic this week. MAGIC The forest was filled with magic this week. Our little forest schoolers were mixing their own potions and whittling their very own elder wands. It is always magical to see all these little people growing in confidence as they develop new skills and gain invaluable life experiences. These simple activities provided a host of opportunities to gain and enhance skills, learn new knowledge and triggered countless games and imaginary worlds. What a special, magical week we all had. “I believe the world is incomprehensibly beautiful. An endless prospect of magic and wonder. – Ansel Adams . . . . . . . #forestchool #forestschoolactivities #rewildourchildren #rewilding #forestschoolleader #forestschoolforall #forestschoolideas #forestschooling #forestschooleducation #forestschoolskills #learningoutside #outside #nature #outdoorlearning #montessori #letthemexploreandlearn #newskills #wildchildren #wildkids #wilderness #wildandfree #wildernessskills #bristol #leighwoods #wildernessskills #whittling #whittlingwithkids #magicofnature
