Leadership begins with connection.

The day opened outdoors with a powerful reflection exercise — participants stood as trees, a reminder that this wasn’t an ending — it was a continuation.

From theory to lived example.

A keynote from Claire McEvilly, CEO of Airfield Estate, explored how sustainability can be embedded into all aspects of organisations, teams and communities. Airfield stands as a practical model of environmental stewardship in action.

Six months of transformation.

Participants reflected on how the programme helped them make practical and accessible changes, while building a growing network of support.

The afternoon focused on collective action planning — a collaborative marketplace of ideas and partnerships. The message was clear: Embed nature-positive leadership into governance, strategy and decision-making at every level.

This is just the beginning.

The legacy continues through building a cross-sector network committed to change.

To understand the complexity of both our local and global situation better, this year started with an unusual research trip (everything we do at Native is, well, unusual!). We took a few weeks out at the beginning of January to explore one of the last nature refuges on earth, in Patagonia. The story of nature restoration in Chile is remarkable.
