Louise Ambrose believes that Forest School is a powerful way of helping people of all ages to find their place in nature and reconnect to their ancient ancestral heritage. If they, the Forest School community, work cooperatively and creatively, they can empower the people they work with to choose happier, healthier and more sustainable lifestyles. She has always loved playing in nature and originally trained as an ecologist. Early in her career, she realized that it was more fun to have other people to play with outside and ended up working in the outdoor learning industry for the last 13 years. Since 2008, she has mainly worked as a freelance Forest School trainer and have coordinated the Forest School strategy for Norfolk Local Authority.
