Jo Roberts – Chief Executive Officer
Jo has been Director of the Wilderness Foundation since 2004, but has been involved as Projects Director and Project Coordinator since 1998.
The Wilderness Foundation are strategic partners with Lengthen Your Stride for REAL Journeys.
South African by birth, Jo has enjoyed a rich life of wild places in many parts of Africa as she grew up. She trained and worked as a Social Anthropologist during the time of Apartheid, working mainly with rural communities. Her main interest in life is the vital connection between humanity and nature, and the value that experiential learning and outdoor education brings to social and personal change.
Jo focuses her attention on linking wilderness trails to peace and reconciliation and the effects of wilderness on developing sound youth leadership built on environmental awareness and ethics, and the turn around potential for youth who are vulnerable or at risk. Using the extensive wilderness network and her close link to South Africa and programmes running there, she merges best practice from around the world into creative programmes that suit British climate and culture.
Jo is married with two teenagers and lives in Essex with her family.
