In partnership with Friends of Blairs Loch, the training courses are aimed at all those involved in working, caring and volunteering in the mental health sector.
We aim to provide hands on training that develops skills, enhances knowledge, and aids professional development by connecting with nature and using natural resources in the outdoor environment. All courses are free at the point of delivery with funding received from Moray Communities Mental Health & Wellbeing Fund (CMH&W Fund)

Natalie lives locally and has been delivering outdoor learning & forest schools for nearly 10 years. Natalie is secretary of Moray Outdoor & Woodland Learning Group and currently works for Moray College as an assessor in early years education.
