Niamh Stack – Professor of Developmental Psychology at the University of Glasgow School of Psychology. I have been involved with the Children’s Wood for a number of years on collaborative research projects between our psychology students, the woods and school partners. These applied projects have been hugely impactful for our students in addressing real world problems in their research and in seeing psychology at work in community settings and hopefully the projects have also been beneficial to the woods in evidencing the great work being done within the woods at all levels of the community. I am delighted to be taking up the role of Chair of the Children’s Wood this summer to help support this important community initiative.
