The festival is three days of discussions about converting radical ideas into practical action, around the focus of our relationship with the rest of nature. Presented by House of Hackney, it's a festival of ideas and coming together of passionate advocates for the regeneration of Nature for the quality of life of all future generations.
The programme includes discussions on Rights of Nature, Nature-Positive Corporate Governance, and what it means to consider Nature as a stakeholder. Speakers include us (!) alongside experts from the UK Rights of Nature Network, Faith in Nature, House of Hackney, Moral Imaginations, Earth Law Center, Schumacher College, Right to Roam, Earth Percent and many more. We hope you are able to join us!

I know that the urgent state of the climate crisis can seem too painful to fully contemplate. I’ve felt this for a while, and it comes in waves. Towards the end of last year we had the international climate conference of COP26, which gave some potential for progress.

The Glasgow Leaders’ Declaration on Forests and Land Use, the first major announcement of the COP26, commits 137 countries, including Brazil, China and Indonesia, to “halt and reverse” deforestation by 2030.

This is a story about Lawyers for Nature’s work on what was variously known as the Dulwich Oaks or Save the Footbridge Oaks Campaign. I was contacted out of the blue by a member of the campaign who had heard about Lawyers for Nature and our work saving trees.
