Falling in Love with the Earth Again

In the woodlands of the Forest of Dean, Vivienne Prescott reimagines climate action through relationship rather than rhetoric. As a Salvation Army officer, she tends a three-acre smallholding where women, families, and children reconnect with soil, dignity, and spiritual belonging. For Vivienne, environmental care begins with love—sitting on the land, growing food together, and rediscovering wonder. Her ministry shows that ecological restoration and poverty justice are inseparable, and that faith lived outdoors can transform how communities experience land, hope, and responsibility.
