Bob Roots Level 3 forest school practitioner and Outdoor first aid.

Has worked in the great outdoors for most of his life. He is an experienced site manager with many skills, including being a qualified rope access technician and an expert machine operator. Bob has a sharp and diverse awareness of practical health and safety, and risk mitigation, gained from years of working in challenging situations. Well read in a multitude of fields, seeing education as a lifelong practice independent from schooling, Bob was uncomfortable as a child but found his lasting peace in his relationship with the natural world.

With two young children, and a broad range of experience in a multitude of fields, they realise the importance of a practical nature based education and a life out of doors, and want to offer that to as many people as they can.

They are a whole that is greater than the simple sum of its parts, and they love each other very dearly.
