Leader information and contact details will be confirmed and included in the joining information. 

Richard Loizou and Jenna Blencowe lead our Wild School days.  

• Richard is a qualified Forest School Leader and regularly leads events and camps for WildWise. He has a particular interest working with young people. He also work with adults, facilitating processes with a view to personal and social change. Richard also works at Acorns school in Denbury in Devon. Prior to this Richard was a Land Based Learning Facilitator for Embercombe which included working on week long residential camps with children aged eight to eighteen. Richard’s passions include making things out of reclaimed or natural materials, dancing, cycling and wild swimming.

• Jenna joined Wildwise as a Seasonal Assistant in 2021 supporting many of our public events and training courses. She was a participant on the Call of the Wild programme where, among many other things, she rekindled her love of singing around a campfire.  Jenna started her career as a teacher, gaining experience across both primary and secondary schools in London. She soon became more and more interested in the intersection between nature-connection and wellbeing, and so in 2016 took a step away from teaching full time to pursue training in Forest School (Level 3), Ecotherapy and Forest Bathing. She spent three years working on a care farm where she delivered programmes for vulnerable young people, whilst also completing her masters in leadership in education, focusing specifically on leadership for wellbeing.
