I am an accredited practitioner with the Institute of Outdoor Learning, with a BSc. Honours in Biological Sciences (Zoology) from Edinburgh University and over 10 years of teaching experience in environmental education. I find that there are so many benefits to being outside from improving our physical health, to growing our mental wellbeing, to improving our academic knowledge. All my classes have a focus in the natural world and can be used as a focus for your own explorations in your local green spaces.
