Beth has years of experience in project management and event organisation working on such projects as the conference to celebrate the international Polar year and Swap-o-rama-rama. She spent a year doing a local food challenge - eating only food that came from within 100 miles of where she was.  She wrote about this for a number of publications, including Permaculture Magazine, and is now writing a book on living a 'local' life.  She has done research for organisations such as The Life Project and the Transition Local Food Guide.  Beth has a Permaculture Design Certificate and uses Permaculture as a guiding philosophy.  She has also undertaken a ten week 'Cookability' course, training her to teach cooking skills.  She has fundraised successfully for numerous projects.

Beth's passions are 'skilling up for powerdown' - learning new skills that will be needed in a post-peak oil world - i.e. growing veg, scything and bike mechanics.  She also loves keeping in fit in interesting ways, from training for a marathon to learning Lindy Hop.
