Amy Williams
Burrs and Buds/Sprout Facilitator
Amy is a homeschooling mom of two, who is very passionate about encouraging everyone to play! She believes that play is essential to all of us, especially children and whether you are 1 or 101 there is always room for more opportunities to discover, adventure and play!
It is Amy’s goal to create a safe space for children to explore their imagination, discover the answers to questions like “what happens when I do this?”, get messy during the process, and to find and be their genuine selves. She believes being outdoors allows for a less distracted environment for children to really get to know themselves through risky play, connection with others and connection with all the beauty that nature has to offer.
Amy has been working with kids for over 20 years in many different settings. Such as volunteering at community events, including making slime and other crafts at children’s tables, teaching figure skating, being a part of the Big Brother Big Sister program and coordinating a teen esteem program for young girls. She has also worked as a party planner for Bingemans FunworX and worked for 10 years at Idea Exchange Cambridge Library, creating and facilitating children’s programs. She has a BA degree in Sociology and Child and Youth Studies that she completed at Brock University. She is currently enrolled in the Forest and Nature Practitioners Course. She is very excited to be learning even more about building a better connection to our land, and being able to integrate that into guiding children in nature in a fun and play-filled way!
Lisa Lee
Burrs and Buds Facilitator
Lisa Lee is a Child and Youth Worker with almost 20 years of experience working with children in a variety of different environments. She enjoys camping, cooking, running, the outdoors, and spending quality time as a family with her husband and their two active boys.
Lisa believes that spending time outdoors in nature comes with many benefits for a child’s learning. It allows children to use their imagination and creativity more freely, fosters an independence, enhances their confidence as they experiment and take risks, and builds a deeper connection with themselves, their peers and nature. She says it is a true joy to watch a child’s excitement and learning come to life with the possibilities being among nature offers.
Lisa is looking forward to having fun, growing, exploring, and learning herself with the children in the forest and Ebb and Flow!
