Starting Local Councils or Hosting Events

Nature’s Council was created to serve as an advisory body to organisations, groups, and individuals who wish to seek counsel from Nature—for projects with a focus on restoring wilderness areas and protecting wild places, habitats, and species under threat worldwide.
At this time, we do not host in-person councils and are not currently in a position to guide others in establishing their own councils or gatherings.

What is the Meaning of your Logo?
Q: Can you share more information about your logo?
The logo was designed by one of our human founding members, Wynter Worsthorne:
“The design started with focusing on the two rose gold hearts connecting and forming a gold diamond in the centre. The dark green leaf-like forms symbolise DNA of Nature. The concentric circles moving from the central dark green out to blue, symbolise earth, air, and water, in a never-ending circle of connection.
There are many more symbols which might resonate differently with each individual eye and heart. I felt guided by Nature during the co-creation of this logo.”
