For Shelley, nature has always been a place of adventure, tranquillity, and discovery—something she’s determined to share with those who might struggle to access it. Through adaptable, creative, and inclusive programs, she helps children, youth, and adults build confidence, resilience, and a lifelong love for the outdoors.

By removing physical, sensory, and cognitive barriers, Shelley ensures that everyone can connect with nature’s benefits. She believes outdoor education should be for all and works tirelessly to inspire the next generation of environmental enthusiasts.
