COURSE TUTOR: Jon Cree
Jon Cree is a rare creature usually found rummaging around his natural habitat of the woods, paddling in his canoe or hibernating in a hammock. He is easily identified by his charismatic hats, giggly infectious laugh and a slightly squeaky voice when excited. Being a social creature he is at his best when in company and is a long time earth educator, Forest School leader, storyteller and environmental trainer. He has worked with numerous groups of all ages over the last 40 years, within the UK and internationally. His passion has always been working with learners challenged by our education system and who thrive in the natural world.
Jon has long time worked with adolescents from a variety of settings – from mainstream secondary schools through to pupil referral units, special schools, youth clubs and looked after children. He has recently co-authored ‘The Essential Guide to Forest School and Nature Pedagogy’
