Wild Pear uses art and design practices to enable environmental and social change.

We work with research and change agencies, NGO's, statutory bodies and community groups, to lead research and co-design. This can be towards, for instance, landscape interpretation, species recovery, or the delivery of events that catalyse broader change. To do this work we use arts and design methods, and create bespoke and engaging tools. Through this approach we create new knowledge, relationships and actions for the benefit of nature and people.  

We enjoy working as a creative practice lead within interdisciplinary teams, or in partnership with science based organisations. We also develop our own projects and research. 

We are particularly interested in initiatives that explore human - nature relationships as an underpinning aspect of the environmental crisis, and projects that further a deep and evidenced understanding of creative practice as a complimentary approach to science in environmental change.

We see nature or the ‘More Than Human’ world as a lead stakeholder in everything we do. We are in the process of exploring nature based governance models to support this.




Wild Pear has grown out of founder Lisa Meaney’s environmental art, design and research for change practice, and continues to develop alongside her current PhD in More Than Human design, with the support of co-directors Chris Holland and Sarah Gill.

As keen advocates of place based change, Wild Pear also actively supports environmental adaption in our home town, Thame.
