Welcome to the Earth Trust

At the Earth Trust we think that the best way to look after the places we love is to change the way we live.  We give people life changing experiences that reconnect us to the natural world.

The Earth Trust is all about people and the way they feel, think and act towards the environment.  We are convinced that the world is currently at a turning point. At the Earth Trust we believe this is a challenge we can all rise to by making small changes to the way we live.  We are convinced there are many people out there who have the ingenuity and passion to make a difference. We believe it’s our job to help them do so.

What we offer

We help people imagine living sustainably in the future and encourage everyone to put this into practice through their daily lives.

We have great places to visit, exciting things to see and a whole range of activities that you can get involved with.  Here is a selection.  To find out more, follow the links on this page, visit our work or contact our team.

Come down to earth and visit us

From the stunning views at the Wittenham Clumps to the magical Thrupp Lake at Radley we have many unusual places for you to explore.  You can get close to spectacular wildlife and watch our progress as we restore wildflower meadows and wetland landscapes.

Come down to earth and celebrate

We run many exciting events throughout the year and there is something for everyone.

Come down to earth and connect with nature

Come and get involved.  Take part in our volunteering groups, or you might like to join our bushcraft and Wilderness Survival Skills, experiencing what it is like to live outdoors for a day.  Outdoor Classroom takes the curriculum into the meadows and woods.  Or if you want us to come to you, why not book our Wild Waste Show bus or Energy Busters bus?  

Come down to earth and discover something new

Take a look at the courses we offer throughout the year. Whether traditional countryside skills like hedge laying, plant identification or landscape painting, we are sure you will have a great time.  Or do you have a great idea and want to start a new ‘green’ business?  Our Farm Step Business project enables you to do just that.  

Come down to earth and imagine the future

At Paradise Wood we are helping to shape the next generation’s forest resource, resilient to climate change. 

None of this would be possible without the generosity of our many funders, volunteers and supporters. Visit our supporters and find out more.
