The outdoors was one of Veronika's favourite things long before becoming a forest school leader. She studied education at university, and now combines her love of nature with an understanding of child development to connect children with the natural world.

​

When not in the woods, Veronika likes gardening, growing food, and feeding hedgehogs in the garden.

Jack's favourite things to do outside are foraging and mushroom identification, whittling spoons and making dens. When he's not in the woods, Jack is a musician and loves to play the bass guitar with friends and make some noise!

You can often find Sally stomping up hills, wondering through forests or swimming in rivers, lakes and sea all year round. Some of her favourite things in nature are new ferns growing in spring and low-lying autumn mist.

She loves all things food, knitting, repairing clothes and singing with friends.
