Alice Rose Betony
Facilitator on Monthly Mentoring woodland programme
Alice has always been an outdoors lover, wild adventurer and world explorer but Alice felt the call of the land more deeply when she returned to her family farm to run the busy Wowo Campsite in 2007-2012. While learning some admin and management skills she also set up and still runs to this day Workshops at Wowo; Realising the potential to help inner city kids and families experience nature connection and bushcraft as part of their camping experience. This then expanded to the general public in the surrounding area to also offer full day workshops in foraging and wild basketry. A selfish act driven out of her own yearning to attend these workshops herself and a great opportunity to deepen her own connection to the land she was raised on. The master forager Anna Richardson became and remains a dear friend and mentor to Alice, for which she is eternally grateful. Alice went on to deepen her own bushcraft skills by attending the year long survival course called Trackways which culminated in a 4 day survival quest in the Pyrenees. She was so inspired by the plants that she also underwent a 3yr full time Herbalism course at CNM in London and is now a qualified Herbalist and Naturopath. Her passion is to empower and inspire kids and families to help themselves stay healthy through the abundance of nature's medicine around us. Alice acknowledges that the children of the world are our future and enjoys the co-adventuring, seeing through young eyes as much as they do. "No one will protect what they don't care about; and no one will care about what they have not experienced" David Attenborough
She hosts wild medicine walks and workshops for all ages in the East Sussex area and is available for private herbal consultation. For information about Community herb gardening open days, Community supported herbalism etc see her website: http://www.sacredseeds.org/
