Heather Schofield already looking forward to returning to the Track
For now, Heather is resting up the enjoying the motherhod ride! “For a tiny bub she’s got huge feet….definitely a walker!” she says. But we know our head guide is already looking forward to returning to guiding duties in the coming seasons. “Looking forward to introducing her to you all in the coming months,” Heather said. “Good luck with the spring season crew. The wildflowers are looking epic!”
Why our head guide is a Margaret River treasure
For those who haven’t yet met her, our head guide Heather is a Margaret River born and bred treasure. And she’s an absolute encyclopaedia of knowledge. She was raised on the banks of the Blackwood River. And is an alumni of Karridale Primary, Margaret River High and Charles Sturt University. But Heather’s passion for country through ecological agriculture and indigenous culture has seen her amass a wide range of experience throughout West Oz. As a Margaret River young rural ambassador she’s worked in regenerating and revegetating the South-West.
Her froth and enthusiasm for conservation led her into eco-tourism. And she relishes taking a long walk and sharing her vast local knowledge. Biodiversity and plants and their myriad names and indigenous applications are but a few of her specialities. More recently, Heather created, developed and guided our new Bibbulmun Track hiking adventure, thanks to her deep love of the Walpole region. If you come hiking with us, walking the Track with Heather is sure to become a treasured memory!
