Claire Pickman
MSc. Education for Sustainability
Qualified Forest School Leader
Member of the Institute for Outdoor Learning
Working across Wiltshire, BANES and Somerset, I grew up in the countryside, surrounded by nature and animals which has instilled a lifelong passion for both. I have over ten years’ experience delivering educational programmes with young people in a variety of school, college, youth, care and other group settings. I have the privilege to observe first-hand the deep impact the outdoor environment has on all the young people that I work with. Since completing my Level 3 Forest School Leader training in 2017, I have run my own Forest School sessions in schools and with youth groups as well as adventure days for holiday clubs and birthday parties. I am fully insured, DBS checked and a Qualified First Aider.
My Mission
Explore more outdoors!
I am passionate about providing positive experiences with nature. Deepening our knowledge and connection with nature helps us to recognise our role in the wider ecosystem. In so doing we inevitably learn just as much about each other and ourselves. Explore more outdoors and see the beauty of nature reflected in you.
