Earthed is a Nature Skills platform for a global community learning from and for Nature.
Through access to practical nature skill courses led by inspiring practitioners from around the world, Earthed members can learn how to grow food, plant for pollinators, restore rivers, harvest rainwater, increase biodiversity, defend against wildfires and so, so much more.
Earthed is a charity on a mission to remove the obstacles that prevent us from regenerating our local ecosystems, and to provide access to the skills, networks and funds that enable life to flourish.
In the words of Earthed cofounder, Christabel Reed: “Ecosystem restoration is the only way we will prevent, halt and reverse the degradation of ecosystems worldwide. Participation at the local level is not only the most effective way to scale this action, but is also an antidote to climate doomism, false solutions, social polarisation and apathy. With only 3% of media coverage focusing on nature solutions, it is no wonder so many feel doomist about the future.”
Alongside skills and knowledge, community is essential for the long-term success of restoration projects. That’s why Earthed members are encouraged to take part in community activities and discussions across many topics and terrains.
The platform is donation based, with free membership available when needed. Others make donations that, as Earthed grows, will establish a community Action Fund providing grants to start or scale restoration projects.
The Earthed Summit
Following the phased launch of Earthed in June 2023, Earthed is celebrating the next stage of the charity’s journey as they aim to reach even more people with access to the skills, networks, and funds to start restoring ecosystems and growing regeneratively.
The 2023 inaugural Earthed Summit will be held this November 11th at the iconic Barbican. With the theme, ‘Our Future, Regenerated’, this exciting new annual event will shine a spotlight on the power of ecosystem restoration and our human potential to restore nature and communities.
The gathering will bring a diverse community of people together including global nature restoration experts and practitioners as well as public figures, businesses, aligned organisations, and budding ecosystem restorers and growers.
Through panels and keynote talks, the summit will explore key topics including rewilding, landscape and seascape restoration, regenerative farming, agroecology, urban regeneration, fungi and community centred restoration.
