Outdoor Answer

• Educator

  • Jan 2021 - Present

  My fundamental aim is to promote getting outside and wellbeing in its many forms; for children, adults and the earth. I firmly believe our wellbeing is intertwined with our relationship to the natural world. I want to use my experience of working in the outdoors to encourage others to explore nature and all it has to offer. I believe if we work with nature it will support us to find answers, no matter what stage we are in our various life journeys. I would love to run sessions for a vast range people and encourage connection, community collaboration and appreciation for nature. I believe being in nature has never been more vital. It allows us to breathe. It gives us some space. It gives us a break from many of the things that can feed into our rising stress levels. The charity WWF predicts that by 2050 6.5 billion people will live in towns and cities and the author Richard Louv believes humans are suffering from ‘nature-deficit disorder’, “a description of the human costs of alienation from nature.” The only antidote is spending time in nature. At Outdoor Adventure we believe people of all ages, backgrounds and abilities deserve to engage and connect with the outdoor environment. This is why we will offer a range sessions and events to provide outdoor fun and adventure.
