Wild Forest School
Fiach Walker grew up with a deep love of nature inspired by his parent’s passion, he spent many long hours of his childhood out exploring the fields and wild places near his home. He began volunteering in social care at the age of fifteen and continued on to study this area in college, enjoying to this day working closely with people.
Fiach trained with the Irish Forest School Association in 2021 and began working with Maura Brennan from the Acorn Project in Kilkenny in the Spring of this year, helping to run in-school projects, after schools programmes, summer camps, inter-generational skills sharing workshops and a rites of passage programme with teenagers.
Fiach is tending to his growing interest in ancestral skills and traditional crafts, herbalism and wellbeing through and with nature.
