About Nature Calling

Nature Calling: connecting and deepening people’s engagement with the landscape.

What is Nature Calling?

Nature Calling is a ground-breaking £2m national arts programme, designed to inspire new communities to connect with their local National Landscape, increase their access to nature, improve their wellbeing, and inspire a sense of belonging in these special places.

In the Chilterns, activity focused in and around Luton, with a series of artistic and creative activities and events between May and September 2025.

We worked with producing partner Revoluton Arts to support a writing and an artist commission.

Nature Calling: working in partnership

The project is funded by Arts Council England and the Department for Environment, Farming and Rural Affairs (Defra), as well as National Landscapes in England. Partners include the National Landscape Association, Activate Performing Arts and the Poetry School.
