About Julie from Nature Makers
Julie has many years of experience teaching and supporting children in their learning. This has taught her that children love to connect with nature and she thinks this is essential for their emotional development and mental wellbeing. Inspiring children to appreciate and protect the natural environment is very important to her. Julie believes that children need hands-on, outdoor learning experiences to excite and engage them. That is why I decided to join Nature Makers. In our workshops, children will be inspired by the natural world, learn new skills and develop their creativity.
