Nature is the biggest stakeholder in the future of our planet. Our holistic approach places people and Nature in a relationship of mutual benefit. We seek to nurture thriving eco-systems for people, plants and wildlife, while recognising the challenges that people face both as individuals and as communities. Our values are to work within educational, environmental and economic systems to create more sustainable and healthier conditions for all life in the places where we live, work, play, and learn.
Our emblem
The wild rose and spider’s web remains as our historic emblem. It embodies nature’s beauty and fragility. Both the rose and the web have been embedded in thousands of years of culture and heritage, folklore and nature. The web is constantly being rebuilt with care and structure. As such it represents resilience in the landscape and the importance of renewal. The rose is an emblem of love and beauty. The rose has thorns and the spider web is fragile demonstrating that journeys are not always easy but through care and guidance and the process of change, individuals and communities can thrive and bloom.
