DIRECTOR

I'm Lewes based but not a true local. I have always thrived in outdoor environments and have a deep love for nature. My day job is running an ecological landscape design business focused on bringing function to landscapes on every level, making spaces work for humans and wildlife as one system. A passion for edible plants and foraging keep me looking for ways to improve our food systems and bring greater food resilience to our communities.

CORE TEAM

I am passionate about people and green spaces and the wellbeing it brings. My background is in permaculture and I co-run The Peverells Community Garden in Seaford plus other projects through my CIC Roots Rising. I love connecting people to nature and growing our own food.

DIRECTOR

I’m a Lewes based creative chap with a passion for using design to help organisations communicate and a big believer in the ability for creativity to build communities. As a father and just as someone who cares about the environment, both locally and globally, I joined PPN to get involved in reconnecting people and nature, it’s a win-win!

DIRECTOR

A born-and-bred Ouse Valley native, I’ve travelled globally in my work as a chef, focused on locally grown & wild harvested food, and food-as-medicine. I’m also a trained holistic health coach, yoga teacher, nutritional therapist and somatic coach. Through rooting into place, eating the abundance of wild foods offered by the land here, and stewardship of our kin - plant, animal and mineral - my hope is that with the People’s Park For Nature we can call in a thriving, diverse & resilient future for the Ouse Valley and beyond!

CORE TEAM

I have been facilitating participatory workshops in communities since 2000 exploring environmental awareness, health, and community. I co-founded and direct Movingsounds CIC, a non-profit for community arts, and I’m a co-director of Standpoint Earth, an indigenous conservation organization. My workshops are inclusive and creative and have included all ages, abilities and backgrounds across Europe, UK, Asia and USA. I play several musical instruments and perform regularly in the UK.

DIRECTOR

I’m an ecologist and entrepreneur specialising in community-driven wildlife restoration projects and experiences that ensure that we have a deeper connection with nature. I’ve lived in the Ouse Valley for 15 years and dream of seeing this beautiful place become wilder for the benefit of people and nature. Throughout my career I’ve witnessed the incredible things that happen when people come together and reimagine the future. I’m thrilled to be on the PPN journey. I hope you can join us as we reach for the stars!

DIRECTOR

I care about helping people and communities develop in healthy relationship with the world around them. I try to combine ecology with human and organisational development to explore how we learn, develop and find rewarding work that creates health for ecosystems and people. I hope People’s Park for Nature can make a contribution to this!

I'm co-founder of Bramble; a group of coaches, curators, consultants and community builders who design radically hopeful, people-centred, place-based interventions for leaders and teams.
