bec
Bec is an ethnobotanist and an experienced teacher of woodland crafts and activities which she runs at the woodland at Tortworth. She founded the Tortworth Forest Centre in 2014 with two aims; to restore the once majestic arboretum, and to open it up to people who will benefit from a connection to nature.
The arboretum is a 20-acre woodland full of native and exotic trees, some hundreds of years old, and it is being restored sustainably with the support of hundreds of volunteers, from all different walks of life. Bec has worked with a number of different groups at Tortworth from adults with addiction, families, youth groups and forest school groups.
