SUMMARY:Grandfather Presents: The Grizzly Forager Family
DESCRIPTION:The Grizzly Forager is an aspirational social media account with the primary aim of inspiring parents to get outside with their kids via the art of foraging. Arthur\, Sybbie\, and their mum and dad\, John and Christina\, create wholesome and visually appealing posts and reels that aim to educate\, inspire and encourage kids of all ages to safely experience the outdoors and develop a deep love and connection with nature. Their content covers a broad range of topics\, from wild food identification and safety\, cooking and recipes\, wildlife\, nature-inspired lifestyle activities\, and ecological and environmental issues. Christina is a Clinical Psychologist and John is an educator\, professional photographer\, foraging enthusiast and author of “The Grizzly Forager’s Guide to Family Foraging.” \nMeet Arthur \n \nArthur is a quiet\, thoughtful\, and caring young boy with a curious nature. He has always been outside from a very early age\, taking naps outside in his pram in all weathers as a baby – even snow! Arthur has a very deep love of nature and wildlife\, particularly ocean creatures and reptiles\, which stems from his keen interest in dinosaurs and other prehistoric animals. He cares deeply about our impact on the environment and how we responsibly source our food. Arthur has a clear thirst for knowledge and uses the forest and our foraging exploits not only to have fun\, but to absorb information and learn new things\, which brings him joy and happiness. \nMeet Sybbie \n \nSybil (or Sybbie for short\, even though that’s longer!) was born at home during the first Covid-19 lockdown of 2020. She was a little earlier than expected\, and surprised us all by arriving\, of all places\, in the shower! Sybbie is outgoing\, confident\, cheeky and creative and enjoys singing\, dancing and theatrics. Like her brother\, she has a deep love of animals and wildlife\, particularly insects\, but also has a very strong maternal instinct\, finding beauty\, love and compassion for small things\, from spiders and birds to flowers and mushrooms. She describes herself as a ‘Foraging Princess’; but can just as easily transform\, when the mood takes her\, into a fierce ‘Warrior Princess’\, swapping out dresses\, hair clips and sparkly shoes for swords\, feathers and moccasin boots. In the forest\, rather than being driven by a thirst for knowledge like her brother\, she instead enjoys the thrill of the chase\, the sense of adventure\, and the pure joy of seeing and experiencing new things. \nJoin the whole Grizzly Clan for a fireside chat all about foraging\, parenting\, wellbeing and living the slow life in wild and rugged Northumberland back home. Discover how Arthur and Sybbie came to be expert foragers and how collectively they became one of the largest and most influential foraging accounts on social media\, with a thriving community of over 600K followers. \nTickets go on sale online for this event here at 10 a.m. on Friday\, May 22. \nVIP Reception tickets are SOLD OUT. Presentation tickets remain\, and those links are listed below. \nBridge Club Members\, click here to purchase Presentation tickets.\nYou will need to use your Bridge Club member number (located on your card below the barcode) to purchase. \nNon-Bridge Club Members\, click here to purchase Presentation tickets. \nGrandfather Presents Schedule \n\n8 a.m. | Grandfather Mountain opens for the day\, and “VIP Reception” ticket holders are allowed access to the park.
