We Are Nature Collective

Walk Listen Weave

 
 

We Are Nature Collective is a women-led creative group rooted in North-East Scotland.
Together we walk, listen, and create — exploring the threads between people, place, and planet. Through art, storytelling, and shared imagination, we open ways to listen, reflect, and tell stories that are often unheard.

Our work centres climate and land justice, recognising that the ecological crisis is inseparable from questions of social and economic justice. Through collective walks, creative prompts, and exhibitions, we create spaces where diverse women—including those who are racialised, migrant, or living with limited resources—can bring their lived experience into dialogue with wider community and policy conversations.

We see creativity not as an “extra,” but as a form of economic and cultural resilience. Our projects draw attention to how economic inequalities intersect with climate breakdown, and we seek to amplify community voices so that just transition policies and practices reflect the realities of those most affected.

At heart, our purpose is to nurture connection—with nature, with each other, and with the wider struggles for justice—so that the path to a fairer, more sustainable future can be walked together.

Persevere, dear women, and voice your knowing… let your words serve as fertile land
— Zainab
The singing birds remind me that my voice matters, even if it’s not as loud; the right group will hear you. They will pause and hear your thoughts
— Amna

Watch our short film as it weaves together poetry, photographs, and moments from our collective walk in the Cairngorms. It carries the voices of women from diverse backgrounds, reflecting on nature, culture, and climate justice — holding the stories of our footsteps, silences, and laughter within Scotland’s ancient landscapes.

Grounded in climate justice, intersectionality, and grassroots wisdom, our work is rooted in the spirit of collectives —an invitation to pause, to notice, and to weave new futures with care and courage.
