My role involves the delivery of the Local Schools Nature Grants programme, so I have the pleasure of visiting lots of different schools and working with incredible teachers all over the south of England. I also enjoy creating outdoor learning resources to support everyone in education to get into the outdoor classroom as much as possible.

My role focusses on ensuring that early years children get the best possible experiences outdoors. This includes developing engaging educational resources, and supporting educators in settings and schools. My career has been centred around curating nature-based education spaces that inspire children to protect the planet. Whilst working in Asia, I developed a fiery passion for bamboo as a climate change superhero – a resource I’m always excited to speak about!

I work with children, young people, and educational settings to increase their environmental awareness and support them in making a positive difference to nature recovery. The National Education Nature Park primarily focuses on supporting the next generation to increase biodiversity and climate resilience around their school grounds. Closely linked with many aspects of the curriculum, it enables me to draw on my experience as an educator, alongside my passion for the outdoors. It’s such a privilege knowing that I am helping to empower children and young people to look after our environment in a fun and engaging way, despite the challenges that lie ahead!

In my role, I deliver training sessions to teachers across the East of England, helping them to feel confident that taking learning and play outdoors is beneficial for their pupils, for themselves, and ultimately for society and the environment.

I am part of the delivery and administrative teams, working primarily on the Local School Nature Grants programme. I spend two days a week delivering training to schools, and two days a week working on the project behind the scenes.

I develop and deliver training across early years settings and schools in London and the East. Driven by a belief that all generations deserve the opportunity to experience the natural world, I have been involved in numerous environmental education projects over the last twenty years. Outdoor learning is vital for young people’s education, wellbeing, and development, and I love seeing the benefits on a daily basis.

I support the delivery of the National Education Nature Park project in the West Midlands. Every day I work with young people and teachers to help them develop a meaningful connection to nature – something I am very passionate about! My background is in practical conservation, so I love getting my hands dirty and I am very lucky to have the opportunity to inspire a new generation of environmentalists!

I deliver training sessions for the Local School Nature Grants programme, supporting educational settings on their outdoor learning journey and helping educators integrate outdoor experiences into their teaching methods.
Having worked in a variety of educational settings for many years, I am passionate about outdoor learning and how it offers a wealth of benefits, from fostering a stronger connection to nature to providing a dynamic and experiential learning environment. Creating resources to bring the STEM curriculum to life outdoors enabled me to observe the impact that high quality resources and training can have on both the practitioner and their pupils.

I take care of the charity’s finances. After 25 years of working in various accountancy roles in the private sector, it was a breath of fresh air to start working for a non-profit. The work is tremendously rewarding, as I know I am part of a wider team delivering so many great opportunities to learn and develop to young people around the UK.

I provide training to schools and early years settings who have been successful in applying for a Local School Nature Grant. I was a primary school teacher for 13 years, so I know first-hand the challenges that teachers can face. I’m passionate about showing them how to use their own outdoor space and resources for learning, and sharing knowledge to help more people get outdoors.

I work with the LtL team to develop new projects and secure funding to make them a reality. Having worked in fundraising and development for 15 years, some of the projects that have left the biggest impression on me are those that connected people with the natural world. As a parent, I’ve seen the richness that nature connection and outdoor play brings to children’s lives.

I have the pleasure of helping to turn the LtL vision into reality through the development, delivery, and reporting of numerous projects, particularly My School My Planet. I work across the team to draw in the support needed to successfully fulfil our commitment to delivering quality outdoor learning and play. I also like to squeeze in some time delivering training in North East Scotland whenever I can!

I develop and deliver training throughout Wales, using skills, knowledge, and experience gathered from over 25 years of talking to people about the benefits we can gain from interacting with nature. I am passionate about sharing the wonders of the world in a format that every learner can benefit from.

Under our Local School Nature Grants programme, I deliver training to early years settings, primary schools, and secondary schools, drawing on many years of experience facilitating high quality outdoor provision as a qualified early years practitioner. I also deliver our Forest Kindergarten training, helping early years practitioners to build the skills and confidence they need to lead outdoor learning and play sessions in local greenspace.

My role as project manager for the Local School Nature Grants programme involves lots of phone calls, meetings, and emails to manage people, juggle logistics, keep timelines on track, and make sure we’re on budget! Being (mostly) super organised is the key to keeping everything running smoothly, so I’m never far from a to-do list. No two days are the same, but it keeps me on my toes and I can always find support from the wider LtL team.

I am the project coordinator for two projects, focusing particularly on liaison with over 200 schools across the year long Local School Nature Grants programme and our exciting new project, Climate School 180. I have experience working on previous LtL projects and a variety of other administration roles in the education sector and elsewhere. Every day is different at LtL, and I love the buzz, the sense of achievement, and the fantastic team spirit.

I’m responsible for the charity’s online presence, so I wear lots of hats on a day-to-day basis. Whether it’s producing content for social media, delivering email newsletters to your inbox, or creating posts and pages for our website, I make sure you hear about the fantastic work the LtL team is doing!

I work with schools and nurseries to help engage children in their outdoor spaces and improve them for biodiversity as part of the National Education Nature Park. My experience as a countryside ranger, a Forest School leader, and managing programmes in educational settings (coupled with my love of the natural environment!) allows me to help and support the next generation of naturalists through knowledge and fun.

I deliver training sessions to schools and early years settings to help them to take learning outdoors. As a primary school teacher of 17 years, I understand how powerful and beneficial learning outdoors can be for both the children’s academic development and for their mental health. I am passionate about the power of play for children, about helping children to love learning, and about teaching children to enjoy and take care of the natural world.

I support schools and nurseries across the East Midlands to improve the biodiversity of their grounds and to increase access to meaningful outdoor learning. With a background in secondary education and a passion for the great outdoors, I want to help educators overcome some of the barriers that prevent equal access to nature.

I assist the Finance Officer with the day-to-day finance administration, drawing on my background working in various sales and finance offices. I am based in the Winchester office, and enjoy working with all the lovely, dedicated team members in Winchester and beyond.

As Project Administrator for the My School My Planet project, I support the delivery team and ensure they’re well-equipped to give schools a great outdoor learning experience. This means helping with everything from ordering equipment to liaising with community groups to updating training records. I have previously worked in the charity sector in both small and large charities, which has helped give me the experience required for this varied role.

The best way to describe my role is ‘on the ground support’. From running consultation workshops with pupils to supporting nursery staff in the woods, every day is different. Alongside delivering training and projects, I also write curriculum resources and support schools with advisory visits, focussing on overcoming obstacles and making improvements to their grounds. I love the variety of my role!

Although I only officially joined Learning through Landscapes in July 2021, I became an accredited network member years ago, and worked on a freelance basis with My School My Planet, Local School Nature Grants, and Polli:Nate. I now deliver training to schools across the green pastures of Southern England, helping teaching staff to deliver more learning outside – my passion!
