Qualified as a Forest School Teacher in 2012 after being inspired whilst volunteering on Forest School days run by Redcliffe Nursery and with Bristol Forest School.
Her previous experience working as an English teacher (2 years) and for the Wildlife Trusts (4 years) provide a good basis for becoming a Forest School leader along with a love of nature from growing up in the middle of the Devon countryside.
With 3 young boys Rachel loves spending most of her time in the outdoors and understands the importance of time spent in wild spaces.
