Laura Sanderson

I am an Artist and Art teacher with a passion for conservation and the environment. After travelling the world and working on several islands in the South Atlantic, I could see the effect that the human race was having on the planet. After returning to Wales, I have dedicated my time to educate young people on the importance of conservation. I think the best way to educate young people is to get them out on the water or at the beach – so they can see the impact they have on marine life and fall in love with the ocean, just as I have. I love being on and in the ocean and this is my opportunity to pay the sea back for providing me with so much joy.

Snowdonia is an area of outstanding natural beauty, and I am determined to keep it that way. I am proud to call Snowdonia my home, and I want to inspire and educate the community and visitors to reduce the impact we have on the environment and marine life. I believe that getting the community out onto the beaches and into the oceans will inspire them to protect this area. I continue to use Art as a medium to communicate the SAS message and I am excited to be part of the SAS family.

You can find me in the oceans, rivers and lakes of Snowdonia. I am looking forward to working with my fellow regional representative Hannah Gunn to make this area a plastic free community.
