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.

** LAST DAY TO SIGN UP ** Our Home Education Prog ** LAST DAY TO SIGN UP ** Our Home Education Programme starts next week but there's still time to sign up! Connecting our children to what is important . At Life Rewilded we understand the benefits of being connected to the natural world, and want to provide a platform for children to develop and nurture this. We also know that children are inquisitive and eager to learn. We want to provide them with the opportunity to connect with their local community and meet ‘real people’ in the ‘real world’, broadening their minds to how society works around them. We have developed a bespoke programme for a group of home educated children that will provide outdoor education and nature connection, coupled with ‘real-world’ experience and wisdom from local businesses and initiatives. Starts: Thursday January 20th When: Every Thursday 10am - 2pm For: Home educated children aged 8-13 Where: Ashton Court Estate (+Partnership locations) Our fantastic partners: Storytelling through Film - Friction Collective The Future of Robots - University of Bristol Community Farming & Sustainable living - St Werburgh's City Farm Climate Activism - Extinction Rebellion See link in my bio for more details. (All partnership locations are accessible by bike or public transport from the city center. Listed below: The Stoke Lodge Centre University of Bristol - Main Campus St Werburgh's city farm Windmill Hill City Farm) . . . . . . #homeducation #homeeducator #homeedbristol #unschooling #outdoorlearningisfun #outdooreducation #forestschool #forestschoolbristol #wildkids #mywildchild #learnoutside #learnoutsidetheclassroom #getkidsoutside #connectwithnature #getconnected #natureconnection #liferewilded #learningthroughexperience
ROBOTS I am beyond excited about our partnership ROBOTS I am beyond excited about our partnership with the University of Bristol on the Future of Robots. The kids on our programme will have a session led by researchers at the university who have been studying the power of robotics within their work. One of the exciting projects they have been working on uses robot dogs that detect radiation levels that they used on a trip to Chenobyl a few months ago. Our session will explore stories of this trip and provide hands on demonstrations and experiences with robotics from the department. Giving children opportunities to learn about new and emerging technologies through hands-on experience is the best way to harness their interest and maintain that passion for learning. Technology, and its advances, are something that this generation’s children are already connected with, however their ability to navigate this will be paramount in their future careers. Automation is our not-so-distant future, and robots are going to be a constant in this generations lives. Giving the children a pedestal from which to start this journey will put them in good standing to nurture a passion for this important topic early on in life. This is just one of the partnerships we have during our Home Education Programme.

HIKING This is easily one of my favourite things HIKING This is easily one of my favourite things to do. Whether its hiking in the mountains, walking coast paths or simply strolling around local parks and woodlands. Going for a walk is like meditation for me and is something I love to do alone. Don’t get me wrong, walking with friends or going off on an adventure as a group is wonderful, but there is something special about going out for a stomp in nature all on my todd. I find this is my thinking time. People are often telling me I am an ideas person, and I admit I’m always coming up with new wacky projects or plans. I love the space that walking in nature alone gives me. A space to think and be immersed in the quiet and peace that nature provides. As a female, I feel lucky that I feel safe and comfortable enough to get out alone and feel privileged to have experienced to joy of hiking alone without the trepidation that many women do feel. I understand these worries and reservations and acknowledge their validity. But is a real shame that many wont ever experience solo hiking because of this trepidation. I wish that more woman could find the space to feel comfortable to be out in the remote wilderness alone, so they too could enjoy all the benefits this brings. This year I am hoping to do a multi-day hike (multi-day being 2 weeks or so), somewhere in the Uk. At the moment I am thinking offa’s dyke or something similar. I would love ideas or suggestions as to routes or locations I could go. ‘We don’t stop hiking because we grow old – we grow old because we stop hiking’ – Finis Mitchell . . . . . . . . #hikinguk #hiking #hikingadventures #womenhikers #solohiking #walkinginnature #walkinthewoods #moutains #coastlinewalks #adventure #hikebritain #hikinguk #girlswhohike
HAPPY NEW YEAR!!! I'm feeling much like this pupp HAPPY NEW YEAR!!! I'm feeling much like this puppy right now after all the cheese and port I have consumed over the past week. I'm feeling content and grateful looking back on the past year and feel almost giddy with excitement as to what 2022 might bring. I wish you all health and happiness in the new year and ask one small request... During this time, when everyone mentally or physically sets aspirations or goals for the new year, please add a pledge to yourself to get out and immersed in nature more. If you are already driven to immersive yourself in nature, then perhaps use this as an opportunity to urge others to do the same. Let's make 2022 the year we turn things back around and reignite that connection we all need. . . . . . . . #newyear #2022 #newyeargoals #connecttonature #reconnect #nature #naturelover #aspirations #happynewyear #societalrewilding #rewildyourlife #liferewilded #2022goals #natureconnection

WHO GIVES A CRAP No one. It's what is inside the WHO GIVES A CRAP No one. It's what is inside the wrapping paper that really matters. This year I have repurposed 'waste' that already exists. Give it a go! Save money and the planet. Big up @whogivesacraptp for providing the majority of my wrapping paper this year! How inventive are you getting with wrapping paper or repurposed gifts? . . . . . . . #christmas #christmaswaste #christmasconsumption #presents #wrapping #sustainable #lesswaste #reusereducerecycle
THIS IS ME – MILLY I just noticed that I have r THIS IS ME – MILLY I just noticed that I have reached 1000 followers! Although this might not seem a lot to most people for me it feels like quite an achievement. I wouldn’t say I am a particularly ‘social media savvy’ person so having reached this milestone and knowing I have built a lovely network of people around me feels pretty great. For this reason, I thought I would do a little introduction as to who I am and what Life Rewilded is all about. Here goes… I’m Milly, I live in Bristol and am foremost a lover of nature and of nurturing a stronger connection with it, be that for myself or for others. I think I have always had a strong connection to nature and being outside. I grew up in rural Hampshire and spent my childhood out exploring and playing imaginary games in the fields until it got dark. Even as a teenager my preference of a fun weekend with my mates was camping out in my village or embarking on crazy rubber dingy adventures down the river. Albeit, a little more alcohol was involved in these escapades, but I was out immersed in nature nevertheless. I love working with children and am incredibly passionate about getting kids outside, adventuring and exploring, like I did as a child. As a trained L3 forest school practitioner I am given the privilege to give children this opportunity to play and be free in the forest. I have a Masters degree in Environmental Geoscience from the University of Bristol which is what brought me to this wonderful city. Following which I worked as an Environmental Consultant, so I have always been immersed in learning and understanding the natural world around me and have always been incredibly driven to strive for its protection. Subsequently, I fell into the world of education and in particular became very interested in alternate forms of education. I love seeing children experiencing the world rather than being sat ‘learning’ in a classroom. My drive with Life Rewilded is to reignite that connection to nature that much of the western modern world has lost. Continued in comments....
