Hi. Welcome to what
we're about.
Forest & Family is redefining how urban communities interact with Nature, setting the stage for a future where Nature is a fundamental part of everyday urban life.
OUR MISSION
Nature-Centred Solutions
Forest & Family is a Nature-centred social enterprise, creative agency and leading London Forest School dedicated to reawakening our innate bond with the natural world. We believe that the secret to successful urban living and growth lies in Nature-aligned urban design, lifestyle solutions and seamless everyday engagements.
Our practice is rooted in an approach that integrates Nature-centred education, wellness, science and sustainability within urban lives. Our process begins with a deep understanding of place and purpose, allowing us to craft Nature-centred experiences, programmes, solutions and campaign that inspire curiosity, resilience, discovery and change.
Our mission is simple: To drive proven solutions that empower humans to live a better life. And it’s to make cities feel more natural and connected, and give the encouragement required to make the bold changes we all need to live more Nature-aligned, healthy and happy lives.
Hi, I’m Katie. urban futurist, campaigner and founder of Forest & Family.
In today’s fast-paced urbanised world connecting people with Nature is no longer a luxury, but a necessity for maintaining healthy urban lives.
The evidence is clear—time spent in natural environments significantly enhances mental and physical health, reducing stress, improving focus, and fostering a sense of belonging and resilience. And that's the short list—the long list will blow your mind! Our work is rooted in the belief that small, consistent steps toward engaging with Nature leads to profound lasting change.
At Forest & Family our services enable individuals, communities and organisations to rediscover the power and potential of what Nature provides. Whether through immersive programmes, thoughtfully designed spaces, targeted campaigns or partnerships with like-minded organisations, we are dedicated to making Nature an accessible and integral part of daily life.
As leaders in the field of urban Nature connection and Nature-centred solutions we are driven by passion to reconnect people with Nature and the responsibility to advocate for Nature and the human-Nature connections vital for a sustainable future. We envision a world where Nature is seamlessly woven into the fabric of everyday life, offering respite, hope and a renewed sense of human purpose.
Our journey and work are a call to action—for individuals, communities, and organisations alike—to embrace the untapped opportunities that Nature in our cities provides. To reclaim what has been lost and design a future where the human-Nature relationship is understood, prioritised and valued. This is the urban future we all need.
