Impact Report 2023
We’re facing urgent challenges of climate change, biodiversity loss, and public health issues. Earth Trust is stepping up to address these crises, demonstrating how accessible green spaces can make a real difference. Together with our community, we are building a brighter, greener future where people and nature can thrive together.
This Impact Report reflects our achievements from April to December 2023 – and is a celebration of the power of the collective action of our supporters, volunteers, members, funders and partners.
From showcasing innovative nature-based solutions to connecting communities with the environment, Earth Trust is at the forefront of positive change. We’re pioneering sustainable practices, influencing policy discussions, and building partnerships to amplify our impact. Through our diverse initiatives – from wetland restoration to sustainable farming, from environmental education to volunteering – we’re proving that it’s possible to meet human needs while nurturing our planet.
