Sticks and Ropes Forest School Sheffield

Lead Nature-based Learning Facilitator

Will Sylvan (he/him)

I've always had a connection to nature and living outdoors whether I knew it or not. I grew up camping, making fires and dens in the woods, watching Ray Mears with my Dad and being part of the Scout movement among other experiences. A steady ember lay in me waiting to be fed with tinder. My mother was a Forest School and Beaver leader and 8 years ago she blew life in that ember and put me on the path to passing a love of nature on to others. I consider it both to be a privilege and obligation to do this work, plus it is loads of fun!
