Gráinne O'Brien

Gráinne O'Brien qualified as a Forest School Leader in 2022 but she has many years' experience of exploring, playing and working outdoors with young people. She enjoys sharing her knowledge and enthusiasm for the natural world and understands the importance of letting children connect with nature on their own terms and exploring it at their own pace. As a parent of two daughters, she has become even more aware of the importance of free, unhurried play in the outdoors. Grainne is a keen climber and is very much at home in the hills, at the crags (and in the trees of course). She also recently completed a Wildflower Identification course through Sligo IT and is looking forward to continuing to expand her Forest School knowledge and skills with 3 trees.
