Wild Pear works with NGO's, statutory bodies and change agencies to research, design and deliver nature recovery initiatives.
We create interpretation plans, work as part of client teams to develop species, river or landscape-scale recovery programmes, and produce new knowledge for policy. We also create and deliver cross sector events that catalyse broader change.
Uniquely, Wild Pear uses design research and more-than-human design methods to do this work. This means using bespoke and engaging tools and participatory and co-design approaches. It involves working with a deep sensitivity to place, and enaging directly with the life worlds of other species. This approach is informed by Founder Lisa Meaney’s ongoing more- than-Human Design PhD.
We are particularly interested in initiatives that explore human-nature relationships as an underpinning aspect of the environmental crisis, and in working with science based institutes as a way to explore new knowledge practices.
As a Community Interest Company we see nature, or the more-than-human world, as part of our community, and a lead stakeholder in everything we do.
