A master naturalist - wonderful experience! - Lorraine is a master naturalist and a wonderful person - so giving of her time and knowledge. It was a wonderful, real way to be introduced to Ireland -- throughout our trip, we found ourselves eating nettle seeds whenever we could, or sharing one of her stories about the plants with family we were visiting. Thank you!

A magical and nourishing woodland tour - Lorraine is welcoming, friendly, knowledgable, and highly skilled. She has a gift for storytelling combined with deep respect for the woods. On our tour I learned about local history and folklore, about the woodwide web, foraging and plant medicine, and the need for us all to be stewards of the woods. I came away with greater knowledge, deeper respect for nature, and with a lightness of spirit. Definitely recommend! Take warm clothing and enjoy☺️!
