Simon is passionate about the importance of real outdoor education and experiences.

This passion has enabled him to study, teach and lead groups in the UK, US and Africa. His passion for the outdoors stems from a childhood of exploring the local woodlands and rivers looking for wildlife and foraging for wild food. He enjoys being outside in all weathers with his dog Hunter, exploring and finding a wild snack.
