more on being an Ambassador
​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​
A changemaker
​​​​
cares about nature, our environment, climate change & biodiversity loss – and all the other challenges facing us on a global scale
​
is concerned about our future & what sort
of legacy we are leaving behind.
​
would like to do something about it -
is already doing so, doesn't know what to
do yet or doesn’t feel able to take any action.
​
you might be a campaigner or activist, an environmental lawyer or green policy maker,
an educator or parent, an artist or actor, a grandparent or care giver, a doctor or scientist,
an eco-entrepreneur or business CEO ...
more on being a changemaker ​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​
I stand as an Ambassador for Life.
I'm on a mission to help others to
do the same.
​
I envision a mycelium network of
eco-changemakers who stand as
Ambassadors for Life, speak for a
thriving natural world, advocate for
the Rights of Nature & bring
the unheard voices of the more-
than-human world into everyday
conversation, every boardroom,
every corridor of power.​
​
Join me as an Ambassador for Life!​​​

​
My Rallying Cry ​
​
Times are Urgent. The world needs you to stand up and be counted.
​
The world needs as many of us as possible to find and use our voices to call for change and alter
the current course of destruction that business-as-usual pulls us ever closer towards.
​
We must also begin to give voice to the very things we seek to protect, conserve and advocate for.
​​​​​​​​​​​​​​
"What a marvellous time to be alive!"
Joanna Macy
​
We each get a chance to use our unique brand of brilliance and offer it as a gift to the world,
even if you don’t know what that is yet, even if you question just what difference we can make.
We are the people we have been waiting for.
The 1200 yr-old Tibetan Shambala Prophecy tells of the rising of regular people to bring about
great change and healing. It is an inspiring and uplifting call to action and one in
which I find such solace, support & determination.
​​​
​
​
​
​​​​​​
​​
You might be thinking…
​
I am full of uncertainty and doubt about the kind of future world we are leaving our kids and grand-kids.
I am so very sad about deforestation and orangutans losing their home.
I am angry about the damage to our eco-systems, by massive deforestation by loggers, oceans
full of plastic or pollution of our rivers – and very little being done about it by powers that be.
I feel anxious and overwhelmed by it all. I sometimes numb out.
​
Things are not changing fast enough - why won't our governments act faster?
Just what can I do about it? What difference can I really make? It’s all so big & challenging.
How on earth can I be an Ambassador for Thriving Life? What can I bring or say?
You are not alone!
​
I’ve had those feelings & asked myself all those questions at some point on my own journey.
​
No, we don’t know what our future holds. It is incredibly distressing to see what is happening in our
world and we can feel so disempowered & helpless. It is easy to question whether we can make any difference.
It’s a totally reasonable response to feel grief, anger, overwhelm, anxiety, despair, numbness even.
​
Yes, we CAN face this together
​
We can start to imagine and work for the more beautiful future our hearts hope is possible, together.
​
I know for sure that I am, you are, just one of many that feel concern for our future.
I believe the power of many is epic!
How can you be an Ambassador for Life?
​​​​​​​I believe we each have a unique gift to offer, our very own brand of brilliance, our very
own role to play as Ambassador for Life. It will have a flavour completely unique to you.
It doesn't need to be grand or loud or brash, but you do need to be bold
​
What might that gift or offering be?
​
Run a national campaign for keeping our beaches clean or rivers unpolluted,
Campaign for tree planting in your local park.
Teach kids how to grow food or do some nature-connection activity with kids.
Do nature walks for adults.
Take a major polluter to court or propose a new green-bill to Parliament or local government.
​
Write letters to each MP in the UK. Raise money for tree-planting in Kenya.
Write songs about nature or make a TV series about extinction-list birds or write a play about eco-activism.
Invent an engineering solution or set up an environmental charity or eco-business.
BUT….you might
​
Need a bit of help to find out what your unique gift & offering is
​
Be feeling it’s scary to speak out, to be seen & need some help to find the courage
​
Be already bringing it but feel under resourced and frustrated at the
slow pace of change or your eco-business product or service is slow in the uptake
​
Have an idea and not sure how to bring it about
​
Have no clue what you can do, but know you want to make your voice count
​
Feel overwhelmed by the weight of wanting to do something on your shoulders
​
Lack confidence in yourself or have some limiting self-beliefs holding you back

The trees tell me we each have unique gifts to offer the world – that it’s time we fully bring ourselves authentically & un-apologetically, so that we can create the more beautiful world our hearts know is possible.
I am called to support people unlock their fullest possibility, reach for their wildest dreams, & navigate around the barriers holding them back or standing in their way.​ The trees tell me there is much wisdom & support for us in Nature - the voices of all the other beings are available to us if we could just slow down a little and learn to listen & hear in a different way - with our innate & embodied intelligence, with our hearts, and with all our senses.
I am called to re-connect people to the natural world and the self as a wild being of nature - to build sovereignty & stewardship for self,
the land & Nature.
​
My purpose is to support those who want to give voice to all the more-than-human beings and lifeforms we share this beautiful planet with; to become ambassadors for thriving life in every place of power or decision-making.

About Clare - the founder of TreeWise​
​
Living in a tranquil river valley in West Wales on an organic, off-grid one planet smallholding
with my family, I am on the land, in touch with nature on a daily basis and live in deep
connection to the cycle of the seasons & the rythmn of the natural world.
​
​
Who am I?​​​​​​​​​​​
​​Over the years, I have often ruminated on this very question. Who am I to..?
A question based in fear of judgement, in fear of being seen.
​
And yet, I have always been a changemaker. I have always tried to walk my talk.
​
All that I offer with TreeWise is an offering borne from my own experience & learnings.
​
TreeWise offers you the benefit from resources and ways that have
also helped me on my own journey.
that have supported me to come to the place where I can say,
​
No longer will I keep my voice silent, and, actually, who am I not to use my voice &
offer my unique gifts to call for a thriving natural world and thriving life for all
beings on this beautiful planet. ​
​​​
​​​​​​​​I am Changemaker. I Like to Walk My Talk.

I’ve dedicated my whole adult life to making a positive difference in the world.
This decision is informed by listening to Imagine by John Lennon, on repeat, aged 12.
I’ve worked and volunteered for environmental, community, local food, social justice and conservation
charities & organisations. I’ve also trained and worked as a healer, therapist & group facilitator
​
I am a pioneer in the one-planet-development movement in Wales
With my husband I’ve created a low-impact, off-grid, self-sustaining residential smallholding.
We’ve built an eco-home, created a market garden selling organic fruit, veg & apple trees. We’ve
planted nearly 3000 trees and developed our site and business in a way that supports biodiversity.
​
I was a member of the core Solar Century team, under Jeremy Leggett,
which successfully lobbied UK Government to launch a solar grants scheme – so I
played a key role in the solar revolution in the UK.
I worked with Clare Dubois in the early days of TreeSisters
supporting her as she began this inspirational charity foresting the tropics and empowering female leadership.
I was part of the mid-wive team – helping to bring the TreeSisters map of feminine leadership into being.
With Nadia Hillman I co-ran Grofun
a social enterprise in Bristol setting up allotments in inner city primary schools & teaching kids how
to grow food​​​​​

My Journey to TreeWise
Let me tell you a story.
​
Once upon a time,
​
I would go and sit inside a hollow 1500-year-old Oak tree on the land where I lived in
Devon - you had to crawl in under the roots. Once in you could stand up. I would
sometimes meditate here & hide from the world. It was so very special.
​
​
​
​
​
​
​
​
​
​
​
One day, devastated by some dreadful news about the latest destruction of Amazon,
I went to this tree, and cried inside, wailing, what is it that I can do to change our world?
​
To my great surprise a voice inside my head answered me - it wasn’t my voice - it said
‘You are to be ambassador to life, ambassador for the trees, the voice of nature’.
​
How the heck will I do that, I pondered?
​
It’s taken me about seven years of process & much sitting with
the trees as mentors - to get brave enough and figure out just how I’m to do that.
TreeWise is the result.​​​​​​​​
​
What legacy do you want to leave behind?
Let me help you discover what your Ambassador Superpower is
& Support you to bring what is yours to do into the world.
