Fishing was his passion as a child, and he admits that he has always felt more comfortable outdoors in the middle of nature than in a warm office. His vision is for children and young people of all backgrounds to enjoy and learn about nature, and to learn by doing rather than from behind a desk. After building the house, an activity for Since his appointment to the role two it had to be devised, and after being years ago Osian has developed a number inspired at Gwersyll yr Urdd Glan-llyn, the of new schemes.
