Carly is the founding Director and Lead Mentor at Natureweavers Forest School in Noosa on the Sunshine Coast. Natureweavers is Queensland's longest running forest school, and Carly has been at the helm for the past 12 years. A forest-dwelling being, Carly spends her days wandering in and wondering about the wildspaces around her, following the lead of the children she is with at the time, exploring the exchange between the children and the forest.
Carly is a qualified nature pedagogue and member of the International Association for Nature Pedagogy. She is a permaculture practitioner and folk herbalist, with a well-versed knowledge of growing food, fibre and forests. Carly works directly with children and families through the range of Natureweavers programs, as well as professionally developing educators, teachers and those who live, work and play with children in practical and theoretical approaches of learning in, with and from nature.
Carly provides one-on-one care and support to children and families who would benefit from time spent in nature. Her services particularly resonate for ADHD/ASD children and those who prefer the peace and the power of being outside in nature.
