👋🏼 Hi! I'm Chris.

Welcome to my website. Here's a quick bio - but do scroll on by if you aren't interested yet..no offence taken.

I've been working in field of environmental education since 2000 because I would like to help us feel at home and take care of this wonderful planet.

In 2009 I self published I LOVE MY WORLD, a nature connection guidebook that Sir Michael Morpurgo said "is a must for all" and Tim Smit, founder of EdenProject said "should be available on prescription".

I have worked for EdenProject, the National Park Rangers, RSPB, Investec, and even oil giants like BP and Shell.

I help people re-connect with themselves, with each other, and the rest of Nature in a wide variety of ways, including bushcraft, music, storytelling and art.

For example for children I do this through weekly forest school and outdoor play.
For adults though one to one mentoring and coaching, foraging and bird language courses, training and team-building events.
For families I run family camps.
For parents and teachers I LOVE MY WORLD has sold over 15000 copies and I've created online CPD courses in storytelling and doing music outdoors too.
For businesses and organisations I offer nature and storytelling based mentoring and leadership development that is rooted in natural cycles, directions and systems that offers hope, grounding and a route towards regenerative futures.
