Bertha Earth

Bertha Earth is an exciting new youth-centred environmental organisation committed to co-creating a world where every child inherits a healthy, thriving planet. Through our programmes, people and storytelling platform our mission is to grow a diverse network of young environmental leaders, storytellers and changemakers who reignite a great love for our planet. By 2030 we aspire to have funded, trained and supported at least 10,000 Bertha Earth Ambassadors, to be working with schools across the country and to be training even more teachers every summer on our teacher training retreat; so they can independently deliver the programme in their schools. Our ambition is also to have opened our own bespoke residential nature retreat space for young people, enabling us to deliver weekly immersive environmental leadership retreats to our committed and most engaged Ambassadors.
