I have had insight into the learning process through a Cambridge CELTA qualification and several years subsequent teaching experience in Europe. This built upon a range of formal and informal teaching and mentoring situations in my previous work. Since 2012 I have been increasingly contracted to deliver a range of field and classroom-based workshops aimed at skilling and enthusing voluntary and professional groups working to conserve and reinstate British vegetation. Clients comprise the National Trust, the RSPB, the Botanical Society of Britain & Ireland, CIEEM, a variety of county Wildlife Trusts and biodiversity partnerships throughout England and Wales, and the University of Newcastle-upon-Tyne. In a world where nature continues to face an uphill struggle, the perennial enthusiasm and delight of students is a powerful motivating force.
As a lifelong field botanist with an interest in the communication of environmental values I continue to welcome opportunities to assist others in learning about our wild plants and the contribution they can make to our quality of life.
