Tessa Wardley is an environmental professional and serial mini-adventureer. With an academic background in Marine and Freshwater Biology Tessa has worked for the UK’s Environment Agency, in global water environmental consultancy and is currently employed by the UK’s Department of the Environment (Defra). Getting into the outdoors to feed the soul has always been a major driver in Tessa’s life. Tessa lives in the belief that every new day and every new place is an opportunity to lace up and run or jump in and swim; to explore places through new paths and trails - she would never consider packing a bag without including running shoes and swimming costume. Tessa gets into the outdoors whenever and wherever she can and regularly competes in adventure races and open water swimming events reaching deep into the wilderness areas of the UK. Tessa lives with her husband, four children and large, hairy, daft dog who accompany her and add to the mini-adventures of life; happily they also subscribe to the importance of nature to their health and wellbeing. When not actively involved in outdoor adventures, working or hanging out with her family, Tessa is writing books inspiring others to engage with the natural world for their health and wellbeing and the wellbeing of our planet. Her books include: The River Book, The Woodland Book, The Countryside Book, The Mindful Art of Wild Swimming and Mindful Thoughts for Runners.
