why i started wilding out
Hi, I’m Roseann (or Zanny, as most people know me).
I’ve lived in Gloucestershire all my life and have spent years exploring its hills, woodlands and hidden corners. As a qualified Hill and Moorland Leader, I’m passionate about helping people uncover the places, people and experiences that make our county special.
Wilding Out grew from a simple belief: life feels better when we spend more time outdoors. Today, Wilding Out is growing into a community for people who want to explore more, connect with others and discover the very best of Gloucestershire outdoors.
WHat wilding out is all about
I started Wilding Out because I wanted to make it easier for people to enjoy being outdoors. Too often, we tell ourselves we’ll get outside more “when we have time2 or we stick to the same familiar places. Yet some of life’s simplest pleasures come from exploring somewhere new, sharing good conversation on a walk, cooking and eating outdoors or simply taking a moment to notice the season around us. Wilding Out exists to inspire more people to make the outdoors a bigger part of everyday life, while celebrating the places, people and experiences that make Gloucestershire so special.
