Suzanne Welch- RSPB Education Manager
I am passionate about providing opportunities for young people to experience and learn about and within the natural environment. I believe that these opportunities can strongly influence a young person’s connection to nature and in turn will influence their desire to take action for nature. I am a firm believer that many young people learn and develop as individuals more effectively through experiential opportunities within the natural environment.
I’ve spent most of my working life, facilitating personal and social development and learning with Young People in a variety of situations, directly and through others. This has been via a variety of jobs in Social Care, residential and day environmental education provision, formal education, with corporate organisations and NGO’s throughout England, Wales and internationally.
I joined RSPB 7 yrs ago to lead a national team that delivers the society’s targets for its work with and for young people. I have individual responsibility for key areas of communications, development and strategy. I also lead on a number of wider partnership projects and often act as RSPB liaison with external organisations for our work with
