We are building a watershed for ideas, capacity, and systems change, deeply rooted in place.
Values
These major pulses govern our work day in and day out. Above all, we are part of nature, building reciprocal relationships with everything around us.
Place-Based
We recognise the unique identities of the places we work, tailoring projects to meet their needs locally, while understanding ‘upstream’ implications.
Equitable
We understand that participants and collaborators come to our work with diverse backgrounds and abilities, and cater to individual capacity needs.
Transparent
We strive to openly share our practices and policies to facilitate building trusting relationships with our collaborators. This is a work in progress.
Locally Led
We empower local leaders by providing opportunities, inviting them to have a voice at the table, and training them in relation to our work so that when our work is done, they’re equipped to do theirs.
Sustainable
We make decisions based on what will benefit the planet and people. While we are not perfect, we build evaluation mechanisms into our work and are constantly evaluating whether changes need to be made.
Collaborative
We work with people. Our work is innovative and considerate because we ensure diverse perspectives are included.
Our team is a growing group of changemakers, passionate about community. Learn more about us below.
We establish strong and trusting relationships with our collaborators and clients. We’re able to work to timelines which meet your needs, while delivering high quality work. Not only are we able to lean on qualitative and quantitative science methods, but we are well versed in a range of project management, administrative, and communications tools to facilitate the smooth running of projects.

The Team
Chloe Nunn
Chloe Nunn works with people and nature at the coast, primarily in the North Atlantic and Arctic.
The Tamar and South West
Coast

Plymouth Sound
Bere Peninsula
Dartmoor National Park
The Tamar River Valley and wider watershed offer a classic lowland river valley, tying together other characteristic landscapes in the South West UK such as moorland and coast. The area is important for water, wildlife, beauty, heritage, and artistic inspiration. The watershed connects communities through shared resources, and historically via watery transport – this still happens, although less.
The Tamar River also forms the boarder between Devon and Cornwall for much of its course. Our work takes us across this border regularly and we felt that tying our identities to a county was an inaccurate representation of what we do, who our communities are, and how the environments around us function.
A portion of the Tamar River has been designated a National Landscape. You can read more about this work on their website.
