About this episode

Ronni hikes with Woodland Advisor Nicole Peters in the Lake District, discussing nature and community engagement.

Today I'm in the Lake District with the fabulous Nicole Peters. We ended up on a rainbow soaked, windy hike up Place Fell above Ullswater. Nicole is a Woodland Advisor at Tees Community Forest, where she helps grow new woodlands and connect people with nature across the Tees Valley in North East England. She was part of the team that delivered 70 hectares of new woodland in the forest’s first planting season. When she’s not out in the woods, you’ll find her hiking her way through the Wainwrights or hanging out with her cats, Rufus and Guinness. Nicole is all about making life fun and giving anything a go whether at work or on an adventure. Find out more about the Tees Community Forest here and connect with Nicole here . Be in touch with me, with all your ideas and to help me hike up more hills, comedic or otherwise. All that ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ here ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠. Thank you to all the supporters as well as to the amazing band Bukahara for their permission to use their fabulous, on point song '⁠⁠Storytelling Animal⁠⁠' as our soundtrack. The World is Storytelling podcast is based on the book by the same name. Written by Arjen Barel, Ronni Gurwicz, and Stu Packer, it is the definitive guide…
