Beth Craigen: The outdoors youth worker changing lives through nature
Saturday, 11 October, 2025
The Outdoors Fix is a podcast to inspire you to make the outdoors a bigger part of your life. It’s hosted by Liv Bolton. In this episode, Liv Bolton is in the beautiful Wythenshawe Park in Greater Manchester with someone who’s truly impacting lives through nature — Beth Craigen. Beth is an Outdoors Youth Worker for the charity Nacro Greater Manchester Outdoor Learning, a qualified Lowland Leader, and a dedicated volunteer who seems to live and breathe the outdoors. The park is her classroom, her community hub, and the heart of so much of her work. Her passion for nature has helped hundreds of young people discover confidence and connection outside, and she’s opening doors for women from diverse communities — breaking down barriers that often stand in the way of accessing green spaces. A couple of weeks ago, Beth took Liv on an autumnal tour of the park’s 270 acres — from quiet woodlands to the vegetable patch— and she shared her journey into outdoor education. They talked about everything from mountain biking and bushcraft to tree identification and the magic of helping others find their own love of the outdoors. They even bumped into one of her special colleagues! We hope you enjoy the conversation — and a big thank you to Beth!
