Ross Symonds is an ecologist, forager, and nature educator based in Sussex. Through guided walks, workshops, and seasonal events, he helps people reconnect with the land through plants, folklore, and traditional knowledge.

With a background in ecology and years of field experience, Ross blends science and story — teaching plant identification alongside the old uses, myths, and meanings that root us in place. His sessions are grounded, sensory, and inclusive, offering a slower, more mindful way of engaging with the natural world.

Ross runs @rosstheecologist, sharing seasonal notes, wild recipes, and folk wisdom from the hedgerow.
