Outdoor fire ignition and prepare dining at Lackford Lakes
At Lackford, a picturesque wildlife reserve in Suffolk, Lucy Wood has found a fabulous experience that she's eager to share. After completing a Level 2 Forest School training, Lucy has been putting her new skills to good use, leading various groups and engaging visitors of all ages in the wonders of nature.
During her forest school training, Lucy learned a variety of practical skills, including making fires, whittling wood, plant identification, and outdoor cooking. These skills have proven invaluable as she plans and leads activities for the weekend wildlife group and the popular "Wild Babies Group" at Lackford.
The staff and volunteers at Lackford are a welcoming and knowledgeable bunch, making visitors feel right at home. Their extensive knowledge about the area's wildlife has only added to Lucy's appreciation for the reserve. Even unfavourable weather hasn't dampened the spirits of the kids at the spring discovery day, under Lucy's guidance they had a great time.
Lucy's passion for nature education is evident in her work. She believes in fostering respect for nature by educating children, and the enthusiasm and knowledge demonstrated by the kids at Lackford are testament to her approach.
Looking forward to the next few months, Lucy is excited to continue her journey at Lackford. She's already made a significant impact, leading a beaver group in a pond dipping session with the help of volunteer Roger, and spending time in the hides chatting with visitors.
As Lucy continues to share her love for nature with the Lackford community, we can't wait to see what she accomplishes next. For those interested in learning more about Lucy's experience and qualifications in outdoor education, wildlife conservation, forest school training, or group leadership, we recommend consulting direct sources such as the Lackford internship program website, official internship descriptions, or contacting the program coordinators for accurate and comprehensive details.
At Lackford, Lucy has cultivated a unique lifestyle that seamlessly blends home-and-garden tranquility with education-and-self-development, embracing an outdoor-living ethos as a forest school leader. Through her work, she emphasizes lifelong learning, inspiring children to respect nature, and imparting essential skills like fire making, wood whittling, and plant identification. Her dedication to nature education has transformed the Lackford reserve into a thriving hub for wildlife and learning.
