The Origins of Nick Hulley, Social Forester
Listen now
Description
I've always been able to quickly tell the difference between someone with years of actual hands on experience in bushcraft, nature skills or crafts, from those with just a little.  It's seen mostly in the way that skills are presented, or how the preparation is put in, or in the choice of words in a social media post or photo description.  When four or five tiny things begin to add up, I start paying attention, and then it becomes obvious.  When I first began seeing Nick Hulley's LinkedIn posts, I saw this phenomenon in spades. In this episode, Nick shares the width and breadth of a life lived hand in hand with nature, through teaching, living, practicing and working day in and day out.  He's used natural elements in conservation and forestry, and considers himself a 'Social Forester', which is a term I had never heard before.  He also shares a wealth of experience in witnessing the origins of the current Forest School model as it evolved and grew in the United Kingdom, and how the current iteration of today's thousands of educators and schools are making an impact, one child at a time.
