Who We Are
Veronika Brannovic
Veronika has worked in the third and public sector for over 20 years, developing and delivering projects that connect people to nature. As well as experience of nature conservation, she has developed expertise in the benefits of contact with nature for human health and wellbeing. She is a qualified Mental Health First Aider and trained in counselling and communication skills. Veronika has lived experience of anxiety and depression and so understands the therapeutic benefits of nature, whether that’s sitting in the garden watching butterflies, looking at trees through a window or walking in a woodland.
Gavin Vella
Gavin has a varied background, from practical conservation in the public sector, to working on wildlife documentaries for the BBC. Gavin is a firm believer that we are products of our own environment, and his degree in Sound has helped him form a greater understanding of healing properties found in nature. Gavin has experienced first hand the many anxieties we face in modern society and is a self medicating nature addict.
Natasha Harris
Natasha is a Psychology graduate and qualified counsellor, with a background in community and project development, to support wellbeing. She is passionate about connecting people to nature and highlighting the significant benefits wildlife and green spaces can have on mood and emotional wellbeing. Outside activities and bringing nature indoors has helped with her own anxiety through the years, so she would like to help others and share learning.
