Meet Ruth

Hello, I’m Ruth, your Nature Makers Activity Provider for Coventry West. I live with my husband and our 3 eco-warrior primary school aged children in a house which is never quiet & usually has a pile of sticks collected from the woods in one corner, and wet paintings drying in another!

We love being outdoors- no matter what the weather- come rain or shine! As a family with neuro-divergent members, we have really benefited from the calm, enjoyment and wellbeing opportunities nature and art have brought to our lives.

I am an experienced teacher and have 20 years experience of teaching primary school children of all ages. I have witnessed first hand the impact that nurturing a love of nature, creativity and just getting a bit muddy can have on children’s wellbeing and eco-awareness. I am extremely excited to start my Nature Maker journey in West Coventry and I would love for you to join me soon!
