Hello, and WELCOME to this website!
My name is Chris Holland and I am a storyteller, nature connection facilitator and didgeridoo player.
I help develop your connection to nature – your own and to the earth we live on – so that we can serve humanity and nature for our greater good – through events, workshops, team building, forest school, my book and online digital resources to educators and parents.

I am an environmental educator, author, forager, a playful trainer, storyteller and keynote speaker, didgeridoo player, bushcraft teacher, wild swimmer, forest school leader, barefoot walker and land artist…and also a family man with a wife and three children, tow of them now adults.
Since 2001 I have been making a living from reminding people that we are part of the land, the nature we live among.
I published my first book, I LOVE MY WORLD in 2009 and devised THE NATURAL MUSICIANS system in 2012.
So what do I do?
I cultivate the connections people have with nature, each other and themselves.
I am also passionate about helping teachers take learning outside and making it playful and “edge stretching”.
I take classes of children outdoors, train and mentor teachers in nature connection and natural flow learning.
I run a wild school for home educating families.
I run bushcraft and outdoor play camps for families, away days and team building for corporate groups, lead foraging events and stag do’s.
I tell stories and play music round camp fires, enjoy sneaking games, teaching skills and crafts in the woods.
I have also written and self-published a best selling nature connection guidebook that is considered “a must for all” by Children’s laureate Michael Morpurgo. It has sold over 7000 copies!

I try to get the right balance between work, family time and personal time.
I love it when someone lights up as they experience something wonderful. Birdsong lifts my heart and widens my perception.
I am grateful when morning sun warms my skin and for the many gifts a day brings.
All the best,
Chris
