Welcome to Wild Heather

Wildheather is changing 🐛🦋. I am ending my time as a Lowland Leader Provider, however, I will be switching to becoming a Course director, supporting, mentoring and still running courses. My focus will be my adventures and volunteering. I’m heading out to thru hike the PCT this year. I hope to hike more of the US, NZ, Spain and of course the UK and Ireland. If you are interested in LL training this summer or the assessments I’ll be mentoring in September/October please make contact with http://www.angelinamountainleader.com/. Excited to be working with Angelina
