Lizzie WoodOutdoor Leader
I came to guiding through working with displaced people resettled to Highland. So many people travel from around the world to visit Scotland's nature playground. I moved here in 2022 for similar reasons. Working with a community that had been forced to flee conflict and move to Inverness, and helping them to access the best of what this area has to offer has led me to sharing my passion for the outdoors through hillwalking. I now love to use this skill to share experiences with young people who can also benefit so much from nurturing a connection to nature. It can be hard to be a child in today's world, but days outside remind us all how to be youthful. The young people we work with guide me back to my playful self, while I guide them in their adventurous journeys, big and small!
