Working in nature connects me to my environment in a very positive and dynamic way. This close connection has led me to develop my environmental and scientific knowledge. With my background as an educator it is a natural step to share that knowledge and enthusiasm with others. Fostering informed connection to our natural environment is a very important step in supporting our young people to be the nature keepers of the future.

• "This is what it's all about, I'd imagine. We visited Abbeyleix Bog, which is almost right on our doorstep, which many of the children had visited before. Except this visit was different, as we were brought around the bog by someone with a genuine passion for the ammenity. Fiona's tour was excellent, she was so engaging and had everything so well planned. There was a great mixture of sharing of information, hands-on investigations and then at other times she was just happy to let the children bask in their surroundings. An excellent trip, and we really hope to do the same next year. Sincere thanks to all who make these visits possible." - Our Lady's Meadow NS, Durrow
