I have been a Countryside Ranger for a number of years and a qualified Medical Herbalist. Outdoor education is one of my strengths, as well as the courses mentioned, I offer talks and guided walks to groups on topics such as “plants and their uses” or the connections between nature and our mood.

“Ian thank you for your guided walk, all those that accompanied you said how much they they enjoyed it , what a wealth of information they gained as well as being delighfully entertained” – Jan McDonald Chair, Mansewood allotment group

“Dear Mr. Boyd, I hope you are aware our school was successfull in the UK teaching awards. I would like to thank you for your contribution. Your involvement was a critical factor in the schools success.” – Ann Grant Head teacher, Shawlands Academy

“Ian communicates with emotional intelligence; this is his strength. He is able to interpret how others are feeling and why, then act as a “translator” to resolve or prevent misunderstandings” – Allison Greig Senior Countryside Ranger
