THE REWILDER
Hello!
My name is Victoria (or most know me as Vic!) and I am a wildschooling mother of 1 (2 including the doggo!) and have long been passionate about wildlife, it's conservation and connecting people with nature.
I established Dorset Rewilding in 2014, after gaining a degree in Ecology and Conservation, and working as an education officer for a large conservation charity.
I have been an outdoor educator for nearly 15 years now, and hold a number of professional qualifications Level 3 Forest School Leader Award, NCFE Level 3 Advanced Bushcraft Award, Level 3 Award in Education & Training, Level 3 Beach School Leader Award, Accredited Yoga for Families, and my wild card - I hold a license to vaccinate badgers!
I have worked with schools all over the county, delivering outdoor learning and long term forest school programmes, creating wild playscapes for children, and providing various workshops and training to adults. I have also collaborated on many wonderful nature-based community projects across BCP with some brilliant organisations!
Overall, I love to facilitate opportunities where human folk and nature collide in the most profound and creative ways possible, allowing us to reap the benefits to our health and wellbeing and release our inner wildling!
Welcome to the wilder side!
