Tracey Marinelli

Hey, I’m Tracey aka The Happy Hippy, Custodian of Hopyard Wood, Qualified Forest School Leader & Wellness Coach.

Throughout my life, I seem to have this constant urge to keep learning new things and my latest venture into further education was to complete my Level 3 Forest School qualification in April 2022. This feels like one of my greatest achievements and it gives me the amazing opportunity to help get children and grown-ups out into the arms of Mother Nature.

On 1st September 2023, I realised my dream of having my own little piece of nature and can’t wait to share it with you.

I am privileged to be the custodian of Hopyard Wood and I have realised through my own experiences that nature is the greatest healer. Over the years, I have worked with some wonderful practitioners, who I am thrilled to invite into the woods in order to bring moments of calm through workshops & sessions for all ages..

For your peace of mind, I am DBS checked and have completed training in Safeguarding, First Aid & Food Hygiene. Click here for my qualifications & training.
